Permitted p x v values
For iglide® B bearings with 1 mm wall thickness in dry operation against a steel shaft, at 20° C, installed in a steel housing.
Vibration dampening and the separation of impact sound were the focus in the development of iglide® B.

Surface pressure
The compressive strength of the iglide® B bearings is on the one hand low, but on the other, is an important property of the bearing. They are mainly used where vibration dampening and acoustic separation are required.

Temperatures
The operating temperature of the iglide® B bearings is limited to 100° C. From 50° C onward, the very soft bearing should be mechanically fastened, so that the danger of bushings creeping out of the bores is avoided. The wear resistance too declines disproportionately from 70° C.

Friction and wear
The iglide® B bearings assume a center position in wear resistance. As far as the bearing load is not too high, the attained coefficients of wear are pretty good. An increase in load results in a disproportionate increase in abrasion.

Shaft materials
The influence of the shaft is not very large in wear resistance.
Figures 22.7 and 22.8 clarify that very similar wear data are attained with different shaft materials. If high operational performances are expected, the bearing load should not be too high.

Radioactive rays
iglide® B bearings are radiation resistant up to a radioactive intensity of 3 x 10² Gy.
