deva.metal
maintenance-free

Where to use
deva.metal is a self-lubricating bearing material manufactured by advanced powder metallurgy. It is fully compacted, unlike oil-impregnated porous bronze materials that are weak by comparison. deva.metal is provided with an evenly distributed solid lubricant throughout its metallic matrix. deva.metal - is suitable for dry running at slow sliding speeds and high loads, - is stick-slip free, - has high resistance to temperature and corrosion, - is insensitive to contamination and edge pressures, - can be easily machined if required.
deva.metal

Reference applications Iron and steel works, furnace construction, fans, foundry machinery, waste water cleaning plants, water-, steam- and gas-turbines, pumps and compressors, food and beverage industry machinery, packing machinery, apparatus engineering, mechanical handling equipment, etc.

deva.bm
maintenance-free

Where to use
deva.bm is a thin-walled self-lubricating composite sliding material. It consists of a backing made of standard steel, stainless steel or bronze with a deva.metal layer applied in a combined rolling/ sintering process. deva.bm offers basically the same bearing characteristics as deva.metal but is capable of handling even higher loads and offers an economic solution to many bearing problems. Reference applications Water turbines, injection molding machinery, food and beverage industry machinery, packing machinery, printing machinery, apparatus engineering, shut-off valves, tire molds, etc.

deva.bm/9P
maintenance-free

Where to use
deva.bm/9P is a thin-walled, selflubricating composite sliding material. The sliding layer is applied to a stainless steel backing in a combined rolling/sintering process. PTFE serves as lubricant and offers very low friction and wear rates. An optional running-in film can extend the bearing lifetime under certain operating conditions. Reference applications Water turbines, injection molding machinery, packing machinery, food and beverage industry machinery, printing machinery, shut-off valves, hydro-mechanical engineering, tire molds, apparatus engineering, etc.

deva.glide
maintenance-free

Where to use
deva.glide is a self-lubricating bearing material that consists of a high-quality bearing bronze with solid lubricant pockets. A thin film of solid lubricant aids the running-in process if required. deva.glide allows to replace lubricated bronze bearings with a maintenance-free alternative and - is suitable for large dimensions, - has a low friction coefficient, - has a high wear resistance, - allows a high durability. Reference applications Hydromechanical engineering, offshore industry, iron foundries and steel works, heavy machinery, cranes and conveyors, deep and open cast mining machinery, construction and earth-moving machinery, etc.

deva.tex
maintenance-free

Where to use
deva.tex is a high performance selflubricating sliding material with a glass-fibre reinforced carrying layer. The machinable sliding layer consists of fibres which are embedded in epoxy resin. The resin carries PTFE as lubricant for excellent tribological performance. deva.tex bearings are available in standard dimensions up to 200 mm according to DIN 1850 and are characterized by a very high corrosion and wear resistance. They are insensitive to contamination as well as to vibrations and shock loads. Custom dimensions are also available due to the machinable inner and outer layer.
