Can I use materials underwater?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

All iglidur materials can be used underwater. However, they differ from each other considerably in respect of moisture absorption – and therefore in respect of dimensional change as a consequence of long contact with water – and of wear resistance. For plain bearing applications underwater, we therefore especially recommend iglidur materials with low moisture absorption and good […]

How is the wear of iglidur iglidur plain bearings measured?

Lars Butenschön | 7. July 2019

The iglidur Expert system works on the basis of hundreds of thousands of measurements performed systematically in our tribo laboratory . Usually, in these tribological tests, wear-related material losses are determined by measuring the volume of wear and the weight loss of the bearing. In our experience, it is more practical to directly measure the […]
