iglide® X polymer flange bearing, metric

iglide® X* | High temperature and chemical resistance with compressive strength

*Previously named iglide® T500

PFAS-tested: All iglide materials labeled as "PFAS-tested" were tested for the 96 PFAS substances considered critical for the environment and health using the SQP M1227 test method (LC-MS/MS and GC-MS) and do not contain any substances >0.1% by mass. This category excludes substances from the group of fluoropolymers.

• Over 250 dimensions available from stock
• Temperature resistant from -212 °F to +482 °F in continuous operation
• Universal resistance to chemicals
• High compressive strength
• Very low moisture absorption
• Excellent wear resistance through the entire temperature range

iglide® X is defined by its combination of high temperature resistance with compressive strength, along with high resistance to chemicals. iglide® X is designed for higher speeds than other iglide® bearings.
 

When to use it? For pressure loads up to 21755 psi For linear movements with stainless steel at high temperatures Universal resistance to chemicals Temperature resistant from -212 °F to +482 °F in continuous operation (short-term to +599 °F) Very low moisture absorption High wear resistance over the entire temperature range

When not to use? For very low wear at high loads For economical underwater applications For edge loads

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.
