iglide® P polymer flange bearing, imperial

iglide® P | No moisture absorption even with high ambient humidity
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.

• Low wear rates
• High load capacity
• Cost-effective
• Self-lubricating and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

Due to thermal stability and low water absorption, the iglide® P bearings are among the most dimensionally stable all-round bearings under varying environmental conditions. iglide® P bearings are recommended for swivel and rotation movements for medium loads. 
 

When to use it? If low moisture absorption is requested When a cost-effective bearing for high pressure loads is required When high precision in high humidity and moderately high temperatures are needed

When not to use? When the maximum application temperature is above +248 °F When mechanical reaming of the wall surface is necessary When the highest wear 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.
