My plain bearing has too much/too little clearance or dimensional deviation

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

The adequate bearing clearance is set automatically in the case of iglidur plain bearings – unless agreed otherwise, – for example  example, for customised special products that are made – after being press-fitted. This clearance results from the tolerance of the plain bearing (E10, F10 or D11, depending on the material) and the tolerance of the […]

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 […]
