About GMN

GMN is a German manufacturer of high-precision machine components, with a product portfolio centered on angular contact ball bearings and sprag-type clutches. The company's bearing line includes super-precision angular contact bearings in the KH and S series, available in single and matched duplex configurations. These bearings are produced to ABEC P4 tolerance class, with contact angles of 15°, 17°, or 25°, and are offered with open or double-sealed designs. Cage materials include phenolic resin, which is standard for high-speed applications. Bore sizes in the catalog range from 12 mm to 50 mm, depending on the series. The clutch product family comprises ball-bearing-supported sprag clutches in the FP and FPD series, with bore sizes from 20 mm to 50 mm and static torque ratings from 89.2 ft-lb to 340 ft-lb. These clutches are designed for overrunning, indexing, and backstopping applications. GMN components are used in machine tool spindles, robotics, printing presses, and industrial drive systems where positional accuracy and repeatability are required. 3G Electric stocks a range of GMN bearings and clutches, including multiple SKUs for each product family, to support maintenance and production requirements across industries. The inventory includes single bearings, matched pairs, and clutches with varying bore sizes and torque capacities. 3G Electric provides logistics support for worldwide delivery, enabling procurement teams to source these precision components without geographic restriction. All GMN products supplied by 3G Electric are sourced through authorized channels, ensuring traceability and compliance with original specifications. For engineers and buyers, the availability of multiple configurations—such as sealed versus open bearings, different contact angles, and duplex sets—allows selection based on application-specific load, speed, and lubrication conditions. The ABEC P4 rating corresponds to ISO P4 precision class, suitable for applications requiring minimal runout and consistent preload. The sprag clutches are designed for freewheel operation with low drag torque and high torque density. 3G Electric's catalog includes part numbers and key specifications for each item, facilitating direct cross-referencing with existing maintenance schedules or new design projects.

Common Applications

• Machine tool spindles — GMN KH series angular contact bearings (e.g., KH 6002) for high-speed, high-precision rotation
• Robotics — GMN S series duplex bearings (e.g., S 61806) for joint articulation requiring axial rigidity
• Printing presses — GMN FP series sprag clutches (e.g., FP 463-M) for overrunning and indexing in web feed systems
• Industrial drives — GMN FPD series clutches (e.g., FPD 432-Z) for backstopping in conveyor and elevator applications
• Automated assembly equipment — GMN KH 6001 bearings for positioning stages with low runout requirements
• Packaging machinery — GMN matched duplex bearings (e.g., KH 6005) for high-speed rotary cutters and sealers
