Disc Bearing
Gantek Disc Bearings provide a lower profile compared to traditional pot bearings, making them ideal for applications where space is limited. Despite this, they offer the same load capacity and movement, ensuring reliable performance.
A key advantage of disc bearings is their design, which eliminates the need for rubber seals to retain the elastomer. This improves their durability, offering a longer service life and reducing maintenance costs.
Additionally, disc bearings are cost-effective and easier to fabricate, offering superior rotational performance. Their simpler design provides a more efficient solution for uplift bearing applications, making them easier to integrate into both new projects and retrofits.
In short, Disc bearings deliver a combination of performance, durability, and cost-efficiency, making them a versatile choice for various applications.
