iglide® C500 polymer sleeve bearing, metric

iglide® C500 | High resistance to media and temperature, up to 482 °F, wear-resistant
 

• High resistance to media and temperature
• Resistant to water vapor
• Good coefficients of friction and wear
• Dry-running and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

iglide® C500 can be used up to +482 °F and is extremely resistant to media – even in cleaning processes using hydrogen peroxide – it is also wear resistant and has low coefficients of friction. Also suitable for various special designs. The color represents extreme environmental conditions.

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.
