What is the heaviest load to which I can subject iglidur PRT slewing rings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

This depends on the size of the slewing ring. The maximum permissible load on the currently largest iglidur PRT, PRT-01-300, is 150 kN statically in an axial direction, which corresponds to a weight of 15 t. During movement, the permissible load is 90 kN. For the smallest model, PRT-02-20 – for applications with small loads and simultaneously high pressure […]

Can I machine iglidur plain bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Plastic is easy to process and machine. Simple, conventional devices and machines as used for woodworking and metalworking are usually sufficient for machining purposes. In addition, iglidur plain bearings have a homogeneous structure. This means that you do not have to worry about roughened-up gliding layers or damaged carrier surfaces. In many cases, a changed surface […]

Can a shaft be “too smooth”?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Yes. Regarding shafts for iglidur plain bearings, we recommend a roughness of 0.2 µm to 0.4 µm. A low degree of roughness can cause stick-slip effects or very fine nicks in the plastic, which can occur as a consequence of high adhesion forces. You can read more about “The right surface finish for shafts” in ourblog article. Vote […]
