iglide® Q polymer sleeve bearing, imperial

iglide® Q | For high loads - wear-resistant on many shafts

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.

• Excellent wear resistance, especially for extreme loads
• Recommended for extreme pv values
• Good coefficients of friction
• Resistant to dirt
• Dry-running and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

iglide® Q bearings were developed especially for extreme loads. Under high loads, iglide® Q figures among the iglide® materials that display the best wear resistance. From a radial pressure of 3625 psi, it outclasses even bearings made from the extremely abrasion resistant iglide® L280. Specific solid lubricants, precisely integrated into the material, ensure that the maintenance-free dry operation is guaranteed under any load.
 

When to use it? For oscillating applications Excellent wear resistance, especially for extreme loads Recommended for extreme pv values If you need dirt-resistant bearings

When not to use? For underwater applications If temperatures are constantly higher than +275 °F In situations involving high edge loads or strong impact loads

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.
