iglide® F | Electrically conductive, highly pressure-resistant
 

• Electrically conductive
• High compressive strength
• Good temperature resistance
• High pv value
• Good resistance to chemicals
• Lubrication and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

Maximum rigidity and hardness, and extremely conductive: When bearings need to be electrically conductive, especially in applications that need to keep out static, the iglide® F is the right choice. Moreover, the iglide® F bearings are extremely pressure resistant. At room temperature, they could be statically loaded up to 15229 psi.
 
Typical application areas

When to use it? When the bearing should be electrically conductive For high static loads

When not to use? When mechanical reaming of the wall surface is necessary When the highest wear resistance is required When very low coefficients of friction when running dry are needed For underwater applications When you need an universal bearing   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.
