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. <a href="/info/plain-bearings-iglidur-tolerances">Testing methods</a> &nbsp; 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. <a href="/info/plain-bearings-iglidur-installation">iglidur® - assembling, gluing, machining</a> &nbsp;
