deva.bm is a thin-walled, self-lubricating composite sliding material. It consists of a backing made of standard steel, stainless steel or bronze with a deva.metal® layer applied in a combined rolling/sintering process.
deva.bm offers basically the same bearing characteristics as deva.metal but is capable of handling even higher loads and offers an economic solution to many bearing problems.
