iglidur plain bearings are held in place in the smaller housing hole by means of the press-fit. Certain parameters such as high or especially low temperatures, however, can diminish the press-fit – at least temporarily. In this case, technical measures are recommended, such as using collar bushings, other types of component or a more suitable iglidur material […]
iglidur materials do not need any additional lubrication – unlike many other plain bearings. The friction between plain bearing and shaft is reduced due to extremely fine particles of solid lubricant that are directly embedded in the material and thus are insensitive to outside influences.

For almost every shaft, there are appropriate iglidur materials that are highly wear-resistant, which means they have a long service life – whether the material is aluminium, hardened steel or carbon fibre compound. You can find the best combination in comfort with the help of the iglidur Expert system. The surface of the shaft should not be […]
We have dedicated a special blog article to this topic. Initial lubrication – namely, one-time application of WD-40 when the plain bearings are being installed – improves the wear properties, above all in the so-called running-in phase. However, our plain bearings are by no means dependent on lubrication with WD-40. Vote Up +0 Vote Down […]
In actual fact, what is understood as load capacity mainly depends on the relation of the load-bearing surface to the load to be borne. A plain bearing with a large load-bearing surface can therefore carry more load than one with a small such surface. This means that the inner diameter – namely the shaft diameter […]
