Glyco Spare Parts

When your customers run Volvo trucks, Cummins diesel engines, or Caterpillar heavy equipment, bearing failure is not a minor inconvenience; it is a costly engine rebuild. That is why sourcing Glyco engine bearings matters. Glyco, part of Tenneco’s Federal-Mogul Motorparts portfolio, is a globally respected German-engineered brand with OE-proven bearing technologies that are fitted to more than 10 million engines annually across commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, marine engines, and industrial machinery.

At PowerTech Spares, we supply the full Glyco range to B2B buyers across the UAE, GCC, Middle East, and Africa. Whether you run a wholesale distribution operation or manage a heavy-duty workshop fleet, we give you direct access to one of the most trusted Glyco auto spare parts catalogues in the region, with competitive pricing, consolidated shipments, and reliable sourcing turnaround.

What Makes Glyco Bearings Stand Apart

Not all engine bearings perform equally under load. Glyco sputter bearings deliver twice the service life of conventional bearings, making them the right call for high-load diesel applications. Glyco IROX bearing technology cuts friction by up to 50% compared to metallic sliding layers and extends bearing and crankshaft life by more than five times in stop-start and hybrid drive cycles, a critical advantage as fleet operators move toward fuel-efficient and electrified powertrains.

Sputter material, developed by Glyco, combines the high wear-resistance of an aluminium-tin sliding layer with the extreme load capacity of a cast copper-lead bearing metal layer, making Glyco’s sputter bearings heavy-duty grade for the most demanding truck and industrial engine applications. Alongside this, Glyco’s A-370 lead-free, patented material delivers the highest performance, with very high fatigue resistance and good adaptability, meeting both environmental compliance requirements and operational durability standards.
