Can I ream an iglidur plain bearing at some later date in order to increase or calibrate the diameter?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Reaming or increasing the hole size of iglidur plain bearings is possible without further ado, and can even have a positive effect on the running-in phase – the frictional properties when the component is in a new condition. Materials with a high fibre content, however, can become rougher or frayed during machining. You can find more […]

Are there antistatic, electrically conductive or surge-arresting plain bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Yes. There are iglidur materials that are electrically conductive and therefore suitable for antistatic requirements (ESD area). Find out more about this in our blog article. Vote Up +1 Vote Down -0You already voted!

What tolerances are recommended for iglidur plain bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

The tolerance of the shaft should be h9, the tolerance of the housing hole should be H7. After the bearing is press-fitted, the inner diameter of the plain bearing adjusts itself to E10 (or F10 or D11, depending on the material). The resulting clearance is needed for the compensation of moisture absorption and thermal expansion, […]
