ACL Aluglide bearings provide a combination of moderate to high strength, good seizure resistance and excellent wear resistance. 

These bearings are ideally suited to general purpose applications (passenger cars and light commercial vehicles) where reliability and long service intervals are desirable.

ACL Aluglide bearings are highly preferred in modern import engines that have been designed for aluminium based bearings as OE standard fitment.

One of the reasons why Aluglide has been such a positive achievement is due to ACL Bearing Company’s in-house research & development, further refining the alloy for a winning advantage over the competition. It features a strip cast microstructure which is the result of the inclusion of alloying elements and careful heat treatment. This gives superior bonding surfaces, particularly between the aluminium bond layer and the steel which are then optimised and remain that way to handle long term maximum loads. Put simply, the new bearings can take a higher load in the way the stress is transmitted to the steel. Additionally, the harder surface of the tough alloy gives substantially reduced wear and minimises any possible shaft abrasion, resulting in an extended service life.
