Can I machine iglidur plain bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

Plastic is easy to process and machine. Simple, conventional devices and machines as used for woodworking and metalworking are usually sufficient for machining purposes. In addition, iglidur plain bearings have a homogeneous structure. This means that you do not have to worry about roughened-up gliding layers or damaged carrier surfaces. In many cases, a changed surface […]

What tolerances are recommended for iglidur plain bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

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, […]

Are there antistatic, electrically conductive or surge-arresting plain bearings?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

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!

My iglidur plain bearing has become jammed on the shaft. What to do?

Lars Butenschön | 9. July 2019

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 […]
