iglidur® C | Free from PTFE and silicone, good abrasion resistance
 

• Dry operation
• Good abrasion resistance
• Lubrication- and maintenance-free

Bearings made from iglidur® C were developed especially for applications where the use of PTFE and silicone is not possible. Such applications can be found in the electronics, tobacco and beverages industries, as well as many painting processes. Keywords like paint compatibility and silicone-free make it useful to study this material more closely.

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.
