iglide® F2 | ESD-compatible, wear-resistant and dissipative
 

• Used to prevent electro-static charges
• Also suitable for wet applications
• Dry-running and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

iglide® F2 helps to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges. Good resistance to media and temperature, suitable even in wet conditions due to low moisture absorption and good universal wear values pave the way for a wide range of applications.

Tolerances and measurement system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglide® plain bearings are a function of the material and wall thicknesses. For each material, the moisture absorption and the thermal expansion are imperative. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be designed with a minimal amount of tolerance. For wall thickness, the rule is: The thicker the bearings are, the larger the tolerances must be.
Testing methods
 
Assembly
iglide® bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter adjusts only after press-fit in the proper housing bore with a recommended tolerance. The before press-fit oversized dimension can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. In this manner, the secure press-fitting of the bearing is achieved. Axial or radial shifts in the housing are also prevented.
