GLYCO® 92 sliding bearings have a steel backing onto which a 0.2 to 0.4 mm thick porous layer of tin bronze is sintered. This layer's pores are filled with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) blended with additives that reduce friction and wear in a rolling process.
A 5 to 30 μm thick covering layer consisting of the same material forms the running-in layer. In the GLYCO® 92 sliding bearings, the great mechanical properties of the sintered bronze are optimally combined with the great sliding and lubricating properties of a PTFE mixture. The material structure ensures great dimensional stability and thermal conductivity.
