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 […]

How is a plain bearing installed?

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 […]
