17 Most Common Materials

17 Common Materials
  • Most common materials for almost any industry
  • Resistance to high temperatures, debris, high loads, safe for contact with food, and more
  • At least 113 dimensions in each material for shaft diameters of up to 50 mm
  • DIN ISO 3547 compliant (exception for iglide® M250)

Low Coefficients of Friction

bearings for friction
  • Universal under normal conditions such as temperature, tolerance, etc.
  • iglide® GLW and J4 as low-cost solutions for mass production
  • iglide® P and K similar to iglide® G with reduced moisture absorption, beneficial in damp environments

Maximum Service Life

Maximum service life
  • iglide® J and W300 are optimized to work well against wear, resulting in long service life
  • Materials are differentiated by temperature and load ranges
  • Can be used with special shaft materials

High Temperature Resistance

High temperature resistance
  • For long-term service in temperatures up to 482°F
  • iglide® Z has extremely long service life and low wear rates under high loads and at very high temperatures
  • High thermal resistance and meant for hot liquids

Dirt and Debris Resistance

Dirt and debris resistant
  • High wear resistance against dirt, debris, etc.
  • H370: Broad range of uses for wet applications
  • H2: Wear-resistant, low cost solution for mass production with low operational performance
  • H1: The endurance runner

FDA-Compliant

FDA compliant
  • Ideal for the food & beverage processing industries, as well as in packaging, pharmaceuticals, etc
  • FDA-compliant and offers resistance to moisture, temperature extremes, and other requirements
  • The blue color facilitates the often required "optical detectability" in the food industry

High-Load Applications

High Load Applications
  • High wear resistance combined with the ability to withstand high (static) loads, shock and edge loads.
  • High loads include radial surface pressures from 4,351 to far beyond 14,500 PSI (14,500 psi corresponds to 2,205 lb on a bushing of 10 mm x 10 mm).

Mold-Resistant

mold-resistant bearings
  • Resistant to fungi, bacteria and mold
  • In accordance to DIN EN ISA 846 Procedure A
  • Tested in special culture for 4 weeks at 84°F (29°C), with no alteration or mildew found
  • Perfect for HVAC applications in buildings, aircraft or cars

Suitable for Water

Suitable for Water
  • Ideal for use underwater and in applications where moisture is a factor
  • High resistance to wear, temperature and water vapor
  • High service life for fast rotation and constant motion underwater

Chemical-Resistant

chemical-resistant bearings
  • Resistant against chemicals dependent on the temperature, the length of exposure and the type and amount of mechanical loading
  • Resistant to hydrochloric acid and can be used in greatly diluted acids and diluted lyes

Vibration and Stroke Resistant

Vibration and Stroke resistant
  • High wear resistance on almost all shafts
  • Excellent vibration-damping and very low coefficients of friction in dry operation
  • Low wear against different shaft materials
  • Resistant to edge loads and high impact resistance
