iglidur® D | Low-cost material with silicone
 

• Low coefficient of friction at high speeds
• For low loads
• Very cost-effective
• Vibration-dampening
• Very low moisture absorption
• Lubrication-free and maintenance-free

During the development process of iglidur® D as a bearing material, high performance and low price were the top requirements. In particular, a low coefficient of friction was required at high speeds in dry operation. This material containing silicone achieves a low coefficient of friction in dry operation and runs with virtually no stick-slip.

Tolerances and measuring system
The installation height and tolerances of iglidur® plain bearings are dependent on the material and wall thicknesses. For each material, the moisture absorption and the thermal expansion are decisive factors. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be designed with a minimal bearing clearance. The rule of thumb for wall thickness: the thicker the wall of the bearings, the larger the clearances must be.
Testing methods
 
Assembly
iglidur® plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter adjusts only after press-fitting into the correctly toleranced housing hole. The press-fit interference can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures that the bearing is securely press-fitted. Axial or radial movement in the housing are also prevented in this way.
