iglide® H1 polymer flange bearing, imperial

iglide® H1 | Endurance runner with high media resistance
PFAS-tested: All iglide materials labeled as "PFAS-tested" were tested for 96 PFAS substances considered critical for the environment and health. This category excludes substances from the group of fluoropolymers.

• High wear resistance in extreme ambient conditions
• Very low coefficient of friction
• High resistance to temperature and chemicals
• For under bonnet applications
• Dry-running and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

iglide® H1 is the first choice when long life is required in extreme environmental conditions. Extreme wear resistance is coupled with excellent resistance to temperature and chemicals – not only in the packaging and foodstuff industries or the automotive industry.
 

When to use it? When extreme service life is required under the influence of temperature and humidity When low coefficients of friction at high temperature are important When normal aggressive cleaning is required (splashes, steam blasting) When the bearings are used in the engine compartment

When not to use? When high surface pressures occur When the best universal chemical resistance is required When a cost-effective high temperature bearing is required, not the ideal wear resistance When an FDA-compliant plain bearing with high temperature resistance is required

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.
 
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.
