iglide® H3 - Tough, wear-resistant, durable

Even more robust and durable than comparable materials

H3 is a new material in the iglide® H family. H3 sets new standards with its outstanding robustness. This material is more robust than comparable materials and has a longer service life than iglide® H1. The iglide® H3 material was primarily developed for use in pumps and problematic media, and is especially advantageous here due to its low moisture absorption.  Learn more about self-lubricating plastics.

iglide H3

Tech up

Tech up

  • Greatest elongation at break in the family of iglide® H materials
  • More wear-resistant as plain bearing material than iglide® H1
  • Low moisture absorption
  • Resistant to many chemicals
Cost down

Cost down

  • Reduces costs for lubricant and maintenance
  • Higher running performance
  • Cost-effective due to injection molding
Proof

Proof

In the test, the wear of iglide® H1 and iglide® H3 was investigated during rotation, p= 1 MPa, v= 0.3 m/s.
 
Wear test with V2A shaft
  • iglide® H1: 0.17 μm/km
  • iglide® H3: 0.11 μm/km
Wear test with X90 shaft
  • iglide® H1: 0.17 μm/km
  • iglide® H3: 0.16 μm/km
Sustainability

Ecoflow pump with iglide® plain bearings

Wear in dosing pumps kept to a minimum

We have developed iglide® H3 plain bearings for this purpose:

In this Ecoflow dosing pump, iglide® plain bearings are used in the driving mechanism of the pump, where their properties minimize the wear on the piston rod pins.
 
From simple linear movements to fast rotating applications in the medium in question, the iglide® plain bearings used in pumps and other areas of fluid technology  are highly wear-resistant and abrasion-resistant. Moreover, they are resistant to chemicals and high temperatures.
