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 […]
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 […]
In the words of Kermit the frog: “It ain’t easy being green”. And even though he is only a hand puppet, Kermit is right – Today, many companies are doing everything they can to reduce their carbon footprint. However, transformation into a more environment-friendly company does not happen overnight. This is normally the culmination of […]
Some engineers are reluctant to consider plastic bearings in their designs. Perhaps they have become accustomed to metal or bronze bearings for years, or they simply doubt the suitability of plastic for difficult applications or environments. However, plastic bearings can withstand extreme temperatures, enormous loads and high speeds. One has to know the pros and […]
The key word “RoHS” is based on EU directive 2002/95/EU (“RoHS 1”) which was replaced on 3 January 2013 by EU Directive 2011/65/EU (“RoHS 2”).The Directive regulates the restriction of undesirable ingredients in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market. The abbreviation RoHS stands for “Restriction of (the use of certain) Hazardous Substances”.Since […]
