When to use it? When extremely wear resistant bearings are required for average loads When regular contact with moisture occurs When sustained temperatures above +194 °F occur

When not to use? When a highly wear resistant bearing is sought for the standard temperature range and low to medium loads When the maximum temperature resistance and high wear resistance is required When the highest wear resistance under water 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.
