iglide® K is the general purpose bearing for medium temperatures, low moisture absorption and good environmental resistance.

When to use it? When you need a cost-effective general purpose bearing For use in wet environments When good wear resistance is required at medium loads

When not to use? When highest wear resistance is necessary If high media resistance is required When a high-temperature bearing 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.
