1: Wear test with oscillating motion of an iglidur plastic plain bearing from igus. _x000D__x000D_ Influencing factors: Selection of the shaft: Different shaft materials are recommended for different plain bearings. Each shaft-bearing combination has different wear results. Load: With increasing radial loads or surface pressures, the wear of the plain bearings also increases. Some plain […]
Unfortunately no – the colour is usually due to the composition of the respective material and there are often only a few individual dyes that are simultaneously suitable for a material and do not have an adverse effect on its tribological properties. The wear behaviour depends on the composition of the material (the dye being […]
1.1 igus carries out a pin-gauge test, also called a “go/no-go test”, in order to ensure that our bearings meet the specifications and function properly once installed. First of all, the bearings are press-fitted in a test housing. It must be ensured that the bearings are undamaged when they are fitted. A housing chamfer is […]
The iglidur plain bearings are designed in such a way that they can be press-fitted in a housing with H7 tolerance and the nominal dimensions of the bearing’s outer diameter, and are then fixed in place by means of a press-fit. This is achieved due to so-called interference , in other words the bearing’s outer […]
Some engineers are reluctant to consider plastic bearings in their designs. Perhaps they have become accustomed to metal or bronze bearings for years, or they simply doubt the suitability of plastic for difficult applications or environments. However, plastic bearings can withstand extreme temperatures, enormous loads and high speeds. One has to know the pros and […]
