dry-tech® wear-resistant GKF shafting

GKF is a shaft surface with three times the corrosion resistance of zinc, nickel, and chrome plating. Ideally, GKF is paired with grease-free iglide® plastic bearings for dry-running, maintenance-free operation. GKF shafting also helps extend the lifetime of your iglide® bearings by up to 40-60% in aggressive environments with dirt, dust, corrosion, and high shock and impact loads.

Benefits:

3x the corrosion resistance of zinc, nickel, and chrome plating
Specially designed for aggressive environments with dirt, dust and corrosion
Ideal for construction and agriculture industries
Extends service life of iglide® plastic bearings by up to 40-60%
Single source for complete bearing assemblies
Maintenance-free, no external lubricants required
