Under the definition described within ATEX, iglidur plain bearings are not components to be certified. This means that no corresponding certificate is needed for iglidur plain bearings. However, equipment and systems for ATEX applications do have to be tested, as a result of which ATEX requirements also apply to the plain bearings from a technical […]
The pv value is the product of velocity (V) and pressure (P). This value indicates the heat generated in the bearing per unit of time. For plain bearings, a maximum pv value is usually indicated. This is the amount of heat that can be removed per time unit due to the heat dissipation capacity of […]
iglidur plain bearings are held in place in the smaller housing hole by means of the press-fit. Certain parameters such as high or especially low temperatures, however, can diminish the press-fit – at least temporarily. In this case, technical measures are recommended, such as using collar bushings, other types of component or a more suitable iglidur material […]
This is not the case for such uses at the moment. Gears made of iglidur materials, however, are generally available by way of our 3D printing service. Vote Up +1 Vote Down -0You already voted!
iglidur materials are so-called compounds, plastics that have been mixed with special filling materials and additives. They give the plastic compound additional properties such as greater mechanical strength or protection against UV radiation, and are specially developed for use as plain bearings for dry operation – i.e. they do not require lubrication. Every iglidur material is subjected […]
