iglide® J | Highly wear resistance on (almost) all shafts- Over 250 dimensions available from stock
- Low wear against different shaft materials
- Low coefficients of friction in dry operation
- Vibration-damping
- Good resistance to chemicals
- Best material to use with soft shaft materials
- Very little humidity absoption
One main advantage of iglide® J plain bearings is the combination of a low coefficient of friction in dry operation and the low stick-slip tendency. With a recommended maximum surface pressure of 5076 psi, iglide® J plain bearings are not suitable for extreme loads.

Tolerances and measurement systemThe 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.
Testing methods Assemblyiglide® 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.
