Diagram 01: Permissible pv values for iglidur® B plain bearings with a wall thickness of 1mm in dry operation against a steel shaft at +20°C, mounted in a steel housing
X = Surface speed [m/s]
Y = Load [MPa]
The compressive strength of the iglidur® B plain bearings is on the one hand low, but on the other, is an important property of the bearing. They are mainly used where vibration dampening and acoustic separation are required.

Y = Load [MPa]
Mechanical specifications
The maximum recommended surface pressure represents mechanical material parameter. No conclusions regarding the tribological properties can be drawn from this. With increasing temperatures, the compressive strength of iglidur® B plain bearings decreases. Diagram 02 shows this relationship.

Diagram 03: Deformation under pressure and temperature
X = Load [MPa]
Y = Deformation [%]
The deformation under a pressure of 40MPa at room temperature amounts to 5.3% (Diagram 03).

X = Surface speed [m/s]
Y = Coefficient of friction μ
Friction and wear
The coefficient of friction increases slightly with the speed and decreases with the load. Shaft surface finishes between 0.4 and 0.6Ra are ideal. As long as the bearing load is not too high, the attained coefficient of wear is pretty good. An increase in load results in a disproportionate increase in abrasion.

(Ra = 1µm, 50HRC)
The shaft material has no significant effect on wear resistance.
Diagrams 06 and 07 clarify that very similar wear data are attained with different shaft materials. If high running performances are expected, the bearing load should not be too high.
