Permitted p x v values
For iglide® H1 plastic bushings running dry against a steel shaft, at 68°F.
iglide® H1 plastic bushings have been specially developed for use under extreme environmental conditions. Their strengths are the extremely high wear resistance and the excellent coefficients of friction even in applications in which the bushing is exposed to extreme temperatures and/or aggressive chemicals. iglidur® H1 plastic bushings can be used completely free of lubrication; in wet area applications, the surrounding medium acts as additional lubricant.

Surface Pressure
Figure 13.2 shows the elastic deformation of iglide® H1 with radial loads. Among the iglide® H materials, iglide® H1 material has the greatest elasticity. This is beneficial in applications with edge loads and is the reason for a higher mechanical loss factor that indicates the vibration dampening capacity of a material.

Temperatures
iglide® H is an extremely temperature-resistant material. With a short-term permitted maximum temperature of 464° F, the iglide® H plastic bushings can be subjected, for example, to a paint drying process at low loads.
iglide® H1 is a temperature-resistant material. The short-term permitted maximum temperature is 464°F, and this enables the iglide® H1 plastic bushings to be used, for instance, in a paint drying process without further load. With increasing temperatures, the compressive strength of iglide® H1 plastic bushings however declines. Figure 13.3 clarifies this connection. In addition to the ambient temperatures, the additional friction heat in the bushing system should be considered. The temperatures prevailing in the bushing system also have an influence on the bushing wear. The wear rises with increasing temperatures.

Friction and wear
The coefficient of friction alters like the wear resistance with increasing load and speed. At constant load the coefficient of friction µ increases with the speed. At constant speed the coefficient of friction lowers with increasing load, whereupon almost constant values result from 5,802 psi. As the counter partner has a large influence on friction and wear, the choice of the appropriate shaft can be decisive. Smoother shafts than Ra = 0.1 µm raises the coefficient of friction. For applications with high loads, we recommend hardened and smoothed surfaces with an average surface finish of 12 - 16 rms.

Shaft Materials
Figure 13.8 displays a summary of the results of tests with different shaft materials conducted with iglide® H1 plastic bushings in the igus® laboratory. Plastic bushings made of iglide® H1 display a distinctly different behavior with different shaft materials in rotating and pivoting applications. In rotating applications, the 440B and 304 stainless shafts are superior to the aluminum HC and 1050 steel shafts especially with high loads. In pivoting applications, the lowest wear rates were measured in combination with aluminum HC and 304 stainless shafts. With most shafts the rotation wear rates are somewhat lower than the pivoting wear rates.
