iglide® W300 polymer sleeve bearing, imperial

iglide® W300* | Low coefficient of friction at low load applications
 *Previously named iglide® L280

PFAS-tested: All iglide materials labeled as "PFAS-tested" were tested for the 96 PFAS substances considered critical for the environment and health using the SQP M1227 test method (LC-MS/MS and GC-MS) and do not contain any substances >0.1% by mass. This category excludes substances from the group of fluoropolymers.

• Over 400 dimensions available from stock
• Long service life
• Low coefficient of friction
• Extremely high wear resistance
• Also suitable for soft shafts
• Resistant to dirt
• Self-lubricating and maintenance-free

iglide® L280 gives excellent wear resistance, even in harsh environments or when used with rough shafts. This material is the most tolerant of these external effects out of all the iglide® range.
 
Typical application areas
Vending machinery
Machine tools
 

When to use it? When especially high service life is necessary When low coefficients of dynamic friction and high wear resistance are needed For use on 304 stainless steel shafts For harsh environments and very rough shafts Dirt-resistant

When not to use? For high loads starting at 7251 psi If temperatures are constantly higher than +194 °F For very wet environments When an economical bearing is required

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.

 
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.
