DEVA Product Portfolio

deva.glide®

• A solid-lubricated bronze bearing with lubricant pockets embedded in the surface.

• Offers maintenance‑free operation under high static & dynamic loads; sliding velocities up to ~0.4 m/s (p×U ≤ ~1.5 MPa·m/s)

• Friction coefficient: ~0.10–0.15; temperature range: –100 °C to +250 °C hawcbearings.co.uk.

• Resistant to dirt, corrosion, extreme edge loads, sealing well even in seawater and high humidity; electrically conductive, no stick‑slip effect

deva.metal®

• A powder‑metallurgic self‑lubricating material with evenly dispersed solid lubricant (graphite, MoS₂, etc.) in a fully dense metal matrix (bronze, iron, Ni,

• High static (~260 MPa) and dynamic (~130 MPa) load capacity; sliding speeds up to 0.4 m/s; p×U up to ~1.5 MPa·m/s

• Works over –200 °C to +800 °C, corrosion-sensitive environments; suitable for dusty, high-temperature, and water-submerged applications

deva.bm® (incl. deva.bm®/9P)

• A bi-metal composite: steel or stainless-steel backing with a sintered-on deva.metal® sliding layer.

• Some variants use PTFE as the solid lubricant (deva.bm®/9P) for ultra-low friction

• Static load up to ~280 MPa, dynamic up to 150 (or 120 for 9P); sliding speeds ~1.0 m/s; p×U up to ~1.5–2.0 MPa·m/s

• Temperature range: –190 °C to +280 °C; excellent load capacity, corrosion resistance, use in sea‑water and nuclear or abrasive industrial settings

deva.tex®

• A glass-fibre reinforced backing with an epoxy/PTFE composite sliding layer.

• Built for resilient, corrosion-resistant applications; friction 0.03–0.25; temperature range: –40 °C to +130/160 °C (plates/bushings)

• Load capacities: static up to 150–230 MPa; dynamic up to 75–140 MPa; sliding speeds up to 0.2 m/s; p×U up to ~1.2–1.5 MPa·m/s

GLYCODUR®

• Composite bearing: steel backing with a sintered tin-bronze layer infiltrated with PTFE (plus additives).

• Used in general dry‑running environments with good thermal and dimensional stability

• Offers eco‑friendly production and competitive delivery performance

⚙️ Key Performance Highlights

• All product lines are maintenance‑free and self‑lubricating, designed to eliminate traditional greasing and maintenance routines

• Capable under extreme conditions: wide temperature ranges, high loads, dusty or corrosive environments, water immersion, and oscillating or micro movements

• Designed for minimum friction and wear, with negligible stick‑slip, and good damping behavior (especially deva.tex and deva.ThrustSeal)
