iglide® AX500 polymer flange bearing, metric

iglide® AX500 | Conductive material for high temperatures and food contact

PFAS-tested: All iglide materials labeled as "PFAS-tested" were tested for 96 PFAS substances considered critical for the environment and health. This category excludes substances from the group of fluoropolymers.
 

• Compliant with EU Regulation 10/2011 EC
• Temperature-resistant from -100 °C to +250 °C (-148°F to +482°F)
• High chemical resistance
• Dry-running and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

iglide AX500 is a further development of iglide A500, a long-term endurance material. The special feature of AX500 is that it is a conductive material. In addition, AX500 has an even lower coefficient of wear than its predecessor. The material was developed especially for the food industry and can therefore be used in contact with food without any problems. 

Tolerances and measuring system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglide® plain bearings depend on the material and wall thickness. For each material, the moisture absorption and the thermal expansion are decisive factors. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be installed with a smaller bearing clearance. The rule for wall thickness: the thicker the wall of the bearings, the larger the clearances must be.

Assembly
iglide® plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter is only adjusted to the appropriate tolerance after pressing into the housing hole. The press-fit excess dimension can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures the secure press-fitting of the bearings. Axial or radial movements in the housing are thus reliably avoided.
