iglide® X6 | Runs up to six times longer than iglide® T500

• Long term service temperature up to +482 °F
• Up to 50 % better press fit than iglide® T500
• High compressive strength
• Excellent chemical resistance
• PTFE-free
• Dry-running and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

Due to nano-technology, iglide® X6 shows up to six times better performance than iglide® T500 in many oscillating and rotating applications – even at temperatures over +212 °F.

When to use it? If temperatures are higher than +302 °F When the wear performance of iglide® T500 in oscillation and rotation is not sufficient If the press-fit should be improved over iglide® T500 If high media resistance is required If you need a bearing which is free of PTFE

When not to use? When you need a cost-effective universal bearing If you need a bearing for underwater use When a wear resistant high temperature bearing for linear movements is needed 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.
