iglide® X6 polymer flange bearings, imperial

iglide® X6| Runs up to six times longer than iglide® X

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.

• Long term service temperature up to +482 °F
• Up to 50 % better press fit than iglide® X
• High compressive strength
• Excellent chemical resistance
• PTFE-free
• Dry-running and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

Due to nano-technology, iglide® X6 shows up to six times better performance than iglide® X in many oscillating and rotating applications – even at temperatures over +212 °F. 
 

When to use it? If temperatures are higher than +302 °F When the wear performance of iglide® X in oscillation and rotation is not sufficient If the press-fit should be improved over iglide® X If high media resistance is required If you need a bearing which is free of PTFE

When not to use? When you need a cost-effective universal bearing If you need a bearing for underwater use When a wear resistant high temperature bearing for linear movements is needed

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.
