xirodur® B180 | The all-rounder
The widest range of plastic ball bearing applications is covered by xirodur® B180. This material is regarded as an all-rounder. In addition to its high wear resistance, the material offers good chemical resistance and medium temperature resistance. The mechanical properties are a good combination of certain hardness as well as elasticity. In addition to the fact that it is the most cost-effective standard material, igus® also offers the largest delivery range of DIN dimensions with xirodur® B180 as well as cage made of xirodur® B180. This material combination also has FDA conformity.
Typical application areas:
Tolerances and measuring system:
The tolerances for inner and outer diameters depend on the size. These are often approx. ±0.05 mm to the nominal dimension. The bearing rings are usually injection molded and naturally exhibit a certain ovality. For this reason, the caliper gauge is used to measure 90° to the injection point (if present) over the entire width of the bearing. The dimensions and tolerances are designed to meet an easy press fit by hand when using a H7 mounting as well as shaft h6. Additional axial securing by means of a circlip (shaft) and snap ring (housing) is recommended to prevent axial displacement.
Mounting recommendation:
1. mounting (tolerance H7)
2. front side (balls visible)
3. rear side (cage visible)
4. press in ball bearing with front side first
5. mount shaft (tolerance h6) with chamfer
6. an axial safety device must be provided
