Is the colour of the bearing freely selectable?

Lars Butenschön | 2. July 2019

Unfortunately no – the colour is usually due to the composition of the respective material and there are often only a few individual dyes that are simultaneously suitable for a material and do not have an adverse effect on its tribological properties. The wear behaviour depends on the composition of the material (the dye being […]

How is an iglidur plain bearing fixed in place in a bearing housing?

Lars Butenschön | 2. July 2019

The iglidur plain bearings are designed in such a way that they can be press-fitted in a housing with H7 tolerance and the nominal dimensions of the bearing’s outer diameter, and are then fixed in place by means of a press-fit. This is achieved due to so-called interference , in other words the bearing’s outer […]

How is a pin-gauge measurement carried out?

Lars Butenschön | 2. July 2019

1.1 igus carries out a pin-gauge test, also called a “go/no-go test”, in order to ensure that our bearings meet the specifications and function properly once installed. First of all, the bearings are press-fitted in a test housing. It must be ensured that the bearings are undamaged when they are fitted. A housing chamfer is […]

What recommendations are there regarding the gluing of plain bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 1. July 2019

In standard cases, we have had very good experience with superglues (e.g. Loctite 401). In the case of materials like iglidur J that are difficult to glue, considerably better results are achieved with 2-component systems (for example Loctite 406 + Primer 770). For applications involving high temperatures, we have had good experience with epoxy resin […]

How is a plain bearing installed?

Lars Butenschön | 1. July 2019

iglidur plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter adjusts itself only after the bearing has been press-fitted in the H7 housing hole with the recommended tolerance. The press-fit interference can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures that the bearing is securely press-fitted. Axial or radial movement in the housing are […]
