iglide® C | Free from PTFE and silicone, good abrasion resistance
 

• Dry operation
• Good abrasion resistance
• Lubrication and maintenance-free

Bearings made from iglide® C were developed especially for applications where the use of PTFE and silicon is not possible. Such applications can be found in electronics, tobacco and beverages industry and in many painting processes. Keywords like paint compatibility and silicon-free make the further employment of this material reasonable.

When to use it? When PTFE and silicone are not allowed in your application For applications with low speed If you need dirt-resistant bearings If you need maintenance-free, self-lubricating bearings

When not to use? When the highest wear resistance is required iglide® L280, sleeve bearing, mm When lowest coefficients of friction are required iglide® J, sleeve bearing, mm iglide® L250, sleeve bearing, mm If a cost-effective option is requested iglide® M250, sleeve bearing, mm When low moisture absorption is required iglide® R, sleeve bearing, mm            Use our filter options to find the most suitable product

Tolerances and measurement system
The 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
 
Assembly
iglide® 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.
