In the case of plain bearings, the shaft moves permanently and is simultaneously in contact with the running surface of the bearing. This means that the nature of the shaft is as important for the service life of the system as that of the plain bearing. Whereas the properties of the plain bearing materials can […]
For uncomplicated and easy installation of our plain bearings, we recommend – a burr-free clean housing hole, ideally with slight chamfering – the hole tolerance H7 – ensuring that the plain bearing is not more than 2 % larger than the hole before it is press-fitted – installation by means of a flat press without […]
Yes. We make iglidur plain bearings according to your wishes and ideas. No minimum order quantity. For this, we make use of the latest manufacturing methods. Whether this involves conventional injection moulding of igus injection moulds made of steel, aluminium or plastic; machining of bar stock; or completely constraint-free 3D printing; as well as coating of metal […]
iglidur plain bearings can be press-fitted in plastic holes without any problems. However, it must be borne in mind that iglidur plain bearings are fixed in place in the hole by means of a so-called press-fit. The fact that there is greater thermal expansion or swelling due to moisture compared to metal can mean that the hole […]
Plain bearings with unplanned wear on the outer diameter or bearings that damage the housing hole do not usually have a tight-enough press-fit and, for this reason, have turned in the housing. They are several ways of solving this problem: choosing a temperature-resistant material with low coefficient of thermal expansion, simply gluing the plain bearing […]
