Improve press fit with corrosion inhibitor

Avoid reduced press fit due to anti-corrosion agent

iglidur® bearings were tested in combination with various corrosion protection agents

Initial situation

If a bearing position is to operate 100 % lubrication-free, it may be advisable to treat the bearing seat with an anti-corrosion agent. These agents may reduce the seizure of the bearing.

Test: displacement force with different anti-corrosion agents

The test shows that almost all anti-corrosion agents reduce displacement force. Only TectylTM 300G Clear E enhances press fit.

Result: TectylTM 300G Clear E under the influence of motion and force

Even under the influence of force and movement, TectylTM 300G Clear E can achieve a higher tight fit of the bearing. In the test, it is almost twice as high as with the plain bearing without anti-corrosion agent.
