iglide® H4 and iglide® T500 in gearboxes

No more contact corrosion
By using iglide® H4 polymer plain bearings, the contact corrosion by metal bushings could be completely eliminated for an automobile manufacturer. In addition to the cost savings, the improved dampening properties of the plain bearings were utilized. This improved the feel of the shift and minimized noise.

Main criteria for use:

Pivoting movement with each gear change

Peak temperature up to 160°C

Push out forces after 68h > 150N

Contact with gear oil possible

In contrast to igus bearings, metal-rolled bearings can have problems of contact corrosion with die-cast aluminium housings
