iglidur® A500, sleeve bearing, mm - A500SM

iglidur® A500 | The endurance runner at higher temperatures in the food sector
Plain bearings made of iglidur® A500 are approved for direct contact with food. They have an exceptionally good chemical resistance and are thus suitable for the most difficult applications in the environment of machines for the food industry. Although iglidur® A500 is a very soft material, it also has an excellent compressive strength, even at high temperatures.

Tolerances and measuring system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglidur® bearings depend on the material and wall thickness. Moisture absorption and thermal expansion are decisive for the material. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be designed with a minimal amount of bearing clearance. The following applies to the wall thickness: the thicker the bearings, the greater the bearing clearance must be.
Test procedure
Installation
iglidur® plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter is only adjusted to the appropriate tolerance after pressing into the housing bore. The press-fit interference can be up to 2% of the inside diameter. This ensures the secure press-fitting of the bearing. Axial or radial displacements in the housing are thus reliably avoided.
