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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
