The tolerance of the shaft should be h9, the tolerance of the housing hole should be H7. After the bearing is press-fitted, the inner diameter of the plain bearing adjusts itself to E10 (or F10 or D11, depending on the material). The resulting clearance is needed for the compensation of moisture absorption and thermal expansion, […]
Yes. There are iglidur materials that are electrically conductive and therefore suitable for antistatic requirements (ESD area). Find out more about this in our blog article. Vote Up +1 Vote Down -0You already voted!
Jammed plain bearings can have different causes such as housing holes with insufficient tolerance, as a result of which compression of the bearings and thus reduction of the inner diameter occurs. Another reason that is often observed is an insufficiently deburred hole. If the bearing is press-fitted carelessly, even small pieces of material residue can […]

Under the definition described within ATEX, iglidur plain bearings are not components to be certified. This means that no corresponding certificate is needed for iglidur plain bearings. However, equipment and systems for ATEX applications do have to be tested, as a result of which ATEX requirements also apply to the plain bearings from a technical […]
