iglide® H | High temperature and chemical resistance
 

• Can be used underwater
• For high temperatures
• Resistant to chemicals
• Lubrication and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

iglide® H is a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material especially developed for applications in high atmospheric humidity or under water. Bearings made from iglide® H can be used completely free of lubrication; in wet applications, the surrounding media acts as additional lubricant. Suitable for temperatures up to +392 °F. Very low coefficients of friction when used with hardened shafts.

When to use it? For underwater applications When it is dependent on high temperature resistance For high mechanical loading For applications in contact with chemicals

When not to use? When extremely high wear resistance under water is required When the best universal resistance to chemicals is needed For the maximum pressure at higher temperatures   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.
