Plain bearings with unplanned wear on the outer diameter or bearings that damage the housing hole do not usually have a tight-enough press-fit and, for this reason, have turned in the housing. They are several ways of solving this problem: choosing a temperature-resistant material with low coefficient of thermal expansion, simply gluing the plain bearing […]

The short-time upper temperature of use for high-temperature materials from igus is 310 °C (z. example, iglidur X or iglidur Z), the maximum long-time temperature is 250 °C. You can find further information on the respective data sheets or you can make a selection according to the respective upper temperature limits in our plain bearings shop or in the […]
The test of “maximum moisture absorption (at 23° C/73° F, 50 % r. h.)” is a testing method according to DIN 53495 and provides information on the amount (namely the increase in volume of the component)l of moisture absorbed from the air. The information in brackets describes the air temperature and humidity, whereas “maximum water absorption” means the […]
iglidur plain bearings have been optimised for use as fixed-position bearings. This means that the shaft moves in the fixed plain bearing; but it is also possible to fix the shaft in position and design the system so that the bearing moves. You can find further information on this extensive topic in our blog article. Vote […]
