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 […]
Yes. iglidur plain bearings do not need any lubrication as they have solid particles of lubricant embedded in the material. In spite of this, it can make sense to lubricate a bearing point equipped with iglidur plain bearings, for example in order to protect the shaft or housing against corrosion or dirt. However, other measures are […]
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 […]
