iglide® G1 polymer flange bearing, metric

iglide® G1 | The new self-lubricating standard

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.

With iglide® G1, we offer a wear-resistant and versatile material for a wide range of applications. Recommended are applications with medium to high loads at medium speeds. Even at an increased temperature of up to +350°F, iglide® G1 is stable, wear-resistant and offers very low moisture absorption. This makes iglide® G1 suitable for a variety of different applications and is therefore a product with great performance.
 

When to use it? Economical all-round performance bearing For low to average surface speeds When the bearing needs to run on different shaft materials For oscillating and rotational movements

When not to use it? When mechanical reaming of the wall surface is necessary When the highest wear resistance is required When universal resistance to chemicals is needed If temperatures are constantly higher than +180°C For underwater use

 

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. The rule for wall thickness: the thicker the wall of the bearings, the larger the tolerances must be.
 
Assembly
iglide® bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter adjusts only after press-fit 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 also prevented.
