iglidur® D | Low-cost material with silicone
 

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

During the development process of iglidur® D as a bearing material, high performance and a very low price were the top requirements. In particular, low coefficients of friction were needed at high speeds when running dry. This material, which contains silicone, achieves low friction values in dry operation and runs with virtually no stick-slip.

Tolerances and measurement system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of iglidur® plain bearings are a function of 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 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 in the correctly toleranced housing. The press-fit excess dimension can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures the secure press-fitting of the bearing. Axial or radial movement in the housing are prevented this way.
