Iglidur

Install – forget

Igus develop bearing material that are well suited for the requirements of maintenance-free sliding bearings. Igus sliding bearings are made of polymeric materials. This mean a bearing that is lubrication-free, maintenance-free, corrosion-free and with low weight. The products have high wear resistance and handle high loads during a long period of time. As a customer, you get access to bearing technology with documented function and calculable life span. By doing a quick analysis of your application and using the width of the product range, we can always offer an optimal and cost efficient bearing solution. All Igus products are DIN standard compliant and can be ordered in FDA approved version for use in the pharmaceutical and food industry.

Recommended tolerances:

• Shaft h9
• Bearing seat H7
• Rec. shaft material: sanded hardened HRC 50
• Surface smoothness shaft: Ra 0,8-2 my
• Max static load 80 n/mm²
• Max sliding velocity 1 m/sec
• Linear motion 4 m/sec
• Friction coefficient 0,04-0,15
• Temperature range -40°C-+130°C
• Moisture absorption RH A50/+23°C – 1%

Benefits of iglidur sliding bearings:

• Maintenence-free
• Corrosion-free
• Lubrication-free
• Dust and dirt resistant
• Vibration dampening characteristics
• Can be used in fluids
• Highly cost efficient

IGUS plastic sliding bearings have many qualities other than type GSM och GFM

• Thick-walled
• Food approved
• Hydrolysis resistant
• Electrically conductive
• Clis bearing

 

…are some variants

We will gladly help with calculations regarding which type suits your application best.

Installation
Igus bearings are made like squeeze bushings. They get their correct inner diameter when squeezed into place. The overmeasure before insertion may be as much as 2% of the inner diameter. The installation hole should be processed to tolerance H7, with the highest possible surface finish and appropiate phase. The installation is done using a flat stamp. Avoid using mandrels. All bearings have been provided with a phase that eases the installation. We recommend not using lubricants during installation.
