D-glide® Spherical plain bearings

Spherical bearings enable smooth and precise rotational movement while allowing for misalignment. D-glide® spherical bearings combine advanced composite technology with robust mechanical performance to deliver reliable, maintenance-free operation.

D-glide® is a high-performance composite material engineered to provide self-lubrication, low friction and exceptional wear resistance. This combination eliminates the need for regular lubrication and significantly extends service life, reducing maintenance requirements and total cost of ownership.

Built for demanding conditions

D-glide® spherical bearings are designed to perform reliably in harsh environments and under extreme loads. Their excellent resistance to wear and environmental conditions makes them particularly suitable for demanding applications in:

  • Offshore and marine equipment
  • Dredging systems
  • Agricultural machinery
  • Heavy machinery and equipment
  • Other applications exposed to high loads, shock and dynamic forces

With their high load-carrying capacity and excellent shock resistance, D-glide® spherical bearings are capable of handling heavy and dynamic loads while maintaining stable and reliable performance. Additional redundancy can also be incorporated into the bearing design where required.

Engineered for your application

Every application has its own requirements. Together with our supplier DRIE-D, we provide technical knowledge and practical experience to develop bearing solutions tailored to your specific operating conditions, loads and design requirements.

DRIE-D has also developed D-glide® spherical bearings according to applicable ISO standards, making them easy to integrate into existing designs and constructions.

Whether you are developing new equipment or optimizing an existing application, we can support you throughout the process—from bearing selection and design optimization to the final technical solution.
