iglidur® R | Low-cost material, low wear

• Good abrasion resistance
• Low coefficients of friction in dry operation
• Very cost-effective
• Low moisture absorption
• Lubrication- and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

The development of iglidur® R as a bearing material focused on high performance and very low cost. Especially in dry operation, low coefficients of friction and wear were achieved. Bearings made from iglidur® R are selectively supported by a combination of solid lubricants. The PTFE and silicone-free material achieves extremely low coefficients of friction in dry operation and runs largely free of stick-slip effects.

When to use it? If high wear resistance at low loads is required If you are looking for a very cost-effective bearing When very low coefficients of friction in dry operation are required If edge loads occur If you are looking for low water absorption When PTFE and silicone are not allowed in the application

When not to use it? If high pressure occurs iglidur® G, sleeve bearing with flange, mm If temperatures are constantly higher than +90°C iglidur® G, sleeve bearing with flange, mm iglidur® P, sleeve bearing with flange, mm If best wear resistance is required iglidur® J, sleeve bearing with flange, mm

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.
