What influence does the iglidur polymer bearing have on selection of the shaft?

Lars Butenschön | 1. July 2019

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 […]

I only need a few plain bearings. The price is therefore not decisive for me. Which bearing is the best one?

Lars Butenschön | 1. July 2019

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 […]

How does bearing wear affect the bearing clearance?

Lars Butenschön | 1. July 2019

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 […]
