iglide® W300 | The classic endurance runner, very wear-resistant on (almost) all shafts
*Previously named iglide® L280

• Over 400 dimensions available from stock
• For especially long service life
• Low coefficient of friction
• Extremely high wear resistance
• Also suitable for soft shafts
• Resistant to dirt
• Dry-running and maintenance-free

iglide® W300 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.

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 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.
