Unfortunately, it is impossible to say which one is “the best iglidur plain bearing” in general. The bearing with the highest price is not always the longest lasting one in all applications. But the best iglidur plain bearing for your application does exist.It is important to always choose your bearing in relation to the application […]
Bearing wear means material erosion on the sliding surface, i.e. as a rule, at the inner diameter of the bearing. The clearance between bearing and shaft results arithmetically from the tolerances of bearing and shaft. The real starting clearance at commissioning is the difference between the measured actual inner diameter of the bearing and the […]
iglidur plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter adjusts itself only after the bearing has been press-fitted in the H7 housing hole with the recommended tolerance. The press-fit interference can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures that the bearing is securely press-fitted. Axial or radial movement in the housing are […]
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 […]
The key word “RoHS” is based on EU directive 2002/95/EU (“RoHS 1”) which was replaced on 3 January 2013 by EU Directive 2011/65/EU (“RoHS 2”).The Directive regulates the restriction of undesirable ingredients in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market. The abbreviation RoHS stands for “Restriction of (the use of certain) Hazardous Substances”.Since […]
