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 […]
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 […]
The variety of iglidur materials is the result of very different customer requirements over almost the last three decades. Development of a good plain bearing material is often like squaring the circle. If an improvement is made in one particular direction, this usually happens at the expense of another property. – Most technical applications can […]
1. Cost points of view Cost reduction is an important factor for most companies. The possibility of using a cost-effective shaft material primarily depends on what bearing is selected. For example, ball bearings require very hard (60HRC or higher) and smooth shafts. The same applies to bronze bearings: the shaft must be harder than the […]
Unfortunately, it is impossible to say which one is “the best iglidur plain bearing” in general. The bearing with the highest price is not always the longest lasting one in all applications. But the best iglidur plain bearing for your application does exist.It is important to always choose your bearing in relation to the application […]
