iglide® P | No moisture absorption even with high ambient humidity

• Low wear rates
• High load capacity
• Cost-effective
• Dry-running and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

Due to thermal stability and low water absorption, the iglide® P bearings are among the most dimensionally stabile allround bearings under varying environmental conditions. iglide® P bearings are recommended for swivel and rotation movements for medium loads.

When to use it? If low moisture absorption is requested When a cost-effective bearing for high pressure loads is required When high precision in high humidity and moderately high temperatures are needed

When not to use? When the maximum application temperature is above +248 °F When mechanical reaming of the wall surface is necessary When the highest wear resistance is required Use our filter options to find the most suitable product

Tolerances and measurement system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglide® plain bearings are a function of the material and wall thicknesses. For each material, the moisture absorption and the thermal expansion are imperative. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be designed with a minimal amount of tolerance. For wall thickness, the rule is: the thicker the bearings are, the larger the tolerances must be.
Testing methods
 
Assembly
iglide® bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter adjusts only after press-fit in the proper housing bore with a recommended tolerance. The before press-fit oversized dimension can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. In this manner, the secure press-fitting of the bearing is achieved. Axial or radial shifts in the housing are also prevented.
