diagram. 01: Permissible pv value for iglidur® D plain bearings

When developing iglidur® D as a plain bearing material, a very low price was at the top of the requirements profile. In addition, low coefficients of friction were to be achieved in dry operation, especially at high speeds. The silicone-containing material also achieves outstandingly low friction values in dry operation and runs largely stick-slip-free.

Mechanical specification
The maximum recommended surface pressure is a mechanical material parameter. It cannot be used to draw conclusions about tribology. The compressive strength of iglidur® D plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram. 02 illustrates this relationship.

iglidur® D bearings were mainly developed for low radial loads. diagram.03 shows the elastic deformation of iglidur® D under radial load. Under the maximum recommended surface pressure of 23 MPa, the deformation is approx. 3%. Plastic deformation can be neglected up to this value. However, it also depends on the duration of the impact.

Table 02: Maximum surface speed

Permissible sliding speeds
iglidur® D plain bearings are suitable for high sliding speeds; for linear movements, short-term speeds of up to 10 m/s are permissible! Here too, the specified maximum values can only be achieved under the lowest pressure loads. The specified values show the speed at which friction leads to an increase up to the limit of the permanently permissible temperature.

Table 03: Temperature limits

Temperatures
The compressive strength of iglidur® D plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram 02 illustrates this correlation. The temperatures prevailing in the bearing system also have an influence on bearing wear, and additional protection is required at temperatures higher than +50 °C.

Friction and wear
The coefficient of friction decreases in the same way as the wear resistance of the load to be carried. The coefficient of friction reaches its optimum in the Ra range between 0.4 and 0.6 μm.

Moisture absorption
The moisture absorption of iglidur® J bearings is about 0.3 % in a normal climate. The saturation limit in water is 1.1 %. This low moisture absorption also permits use in a wet environment.

Table 07: Important tolerances according to ISO 3547-1 after press-fitting

Installation tolerances
iglidur® D bearings are standard bearings for shafts with h tolerance (recommended minimum h9).

The bearings are designed to be pressed into an H7-toleranced mounting; after installation in a mounting with nominal dimensions, the inner diameter of the bearing with E10 tolerance is automatically adjusted.
