In the words of Kermit the frog: “It ain’t easy being green”. And even though he is only a hand puppet, Kermit is right – Today, many companies are doing everything they can to reduce their carbon footprint. However, transformation into a more environment-friendly company does not happen overnight. This is normally the culmination of […]
1. Cost points of view Cost reduction is an important factor for most companies. The possibility of using a cost-effective shaft material primarily depends on what bearing is selected. For example, ball bearings require very hard (60HRC or higher) and smooth shafts. The same applies to bronze bearings: the shaft must be harder than the […]
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 […]
