Why does the shaft material have such a great influence on the service life of the plain bearing?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

In the case of plain bearings, the shaft moves permanently and is simultaneously in contact with the running surface of the bearing. This means that the nature of the shaft is as important for the service life of the system as that of the plain bearing. Whereas the properties of the plain bearing materials can […]

Can I ream an iglidur plain bearing at some later date in order to increase or calibrate the diameter?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Reaming or increasing the hole size of iglidur plain bearings is possible without further ado, and can even have a positive effect on the running-in phase – the frictional properties when the component is in a new condition. Materials with a high fibre content, however, can become rougher or frayed during machining. You can find more […]

Are there antistatic, electrically conductive or surge-arresting plain bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Yes. There are iglidur materials that are electrically conductive and therefore suitable for antistatic requirements (ESD area). Find out more about this in our blog article. Vote Up +1 Vote Down -0You already voted!
