X = Surface speed [m/s]

Bearings made of iglidur® C were developed especially for applications where the use of PTFE and silicon is not possible. Such applications can be found in electronics, tobacco and beverages industry and in many painting processes. Keywords like paint compatibility and silicon-free make the employment of this material reasonable.

Mechanical properties

The pressure resistance of iglidur® C bearings declines with increasing temperatures. Fig. 02 highlights this correlation. The maximum recommended surface pressure is a mechanical material parameter. Tribological conclusions cannot be drawn from it.

Figure 03 shows the elastic deformation of iglidur® C with radial loads. The high flexibility makes the bearing suitable for vibrations and edge loads.

Table 02: Maximum surface speeds

Permitted surface speeds

Though important solid lubricants have been deliberately dispensed with in the development of the iglidur® C, the bearings are very wear resistant and for this reason suitable also for continuous movements at medium surface speeds. Though speeds up to 1.5 m/s are attained on the short term, the main applications should however be undertaken with speeds below 0.5 m/s.

Table 03: Temperature limits for iglidur® C

Temperatures

The upper short-term application temperature is +130°C. However no more loads are possible at this temperature. Therefore it would be reasonable to limit the temperature to about 80 up to 90° C. Note that the bearing should be mechanically fastened to the housing from temperatures of +40° C to counteract the danger of loosening of the bearing.

Friction and wear

The coefficient of friction of the iglidur® C bearing is dependent to a large degree on the coarseness of the shaft. Similarly the wear of the bearing is very good in applications with rotating or pivoting motions with low loads.

Shaft materials

Figure 06 clearly shows how important the "suitable" counter partner can be. Although all the results shown from these rotation experiments can be regarded as very good, the difference is sometimes significant. This difference becomes even greater as the load increases.

Table 05: Chemical resistance of the iglidur® bearings C

Electrical properties

Specific forward resistance	> 10¹⁰ Ωcm
Surface resistance	> 10⁹ Ω

Chemical resistance

iglidur® C bearings are resistant to cleaning agents, fats, oils, diluted alkalis and weak acids.

Radioactive rays

iglidur® C bearings are resistant up to a radioactive intensity of 2 x 10⁴ Gy. Higher radiations affect the material and can lead to the loss of important mechanical properties.

UV-resistant

iglidur® C bearings are not resistant against UV rays. In outdoor applications or in other applications with intensive radiation, adequate protection against direct radiation should be provided.

Vacuum

The iglidur® C bearings can be used in vacuum only restrictedly. Potentially existent humidity degasses.

Electrical properties

iglidur® C bearings are electrically insulating.

humidity absorption / moisture absorption

The humidity absorption of iglidur® C bearings amounts to about 7% with saturation in water and therefore this should be accounted for in applications in a humid environment.

Installation tolerances

iglidur® C plain bearings are standard bearings for shafts with tolerance h (minimum recommendation is h9).

The bearings are designed for press-fit in a housing with h7 tolerance. After the installation in a housing with nominal diameter, the inner diameter of the bearing automatically adjusts to the D11 tolerance.
