iglidur® A160, sleeve bearing, mm

iglidur® A160 | FDA and EU regulation-compliant for chemicals and food
iglidur® A160 bearings are characterised by extreme media resistance at low costs. Tribologically optimised, the material can be used up to +90°C and also meets the conformity requirements of the food processing sector. The property profile is rounded off by the "optical detectability" often desired in the industry, i.e. the blue colour.

Tolerances and measuring system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglidur® bearings depend on the material and wall thickness. Moisture absorption and thermal expansion are decisive for the material. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be installed with a small bearing clearance. The following applies to the wall thickness: The thicker the bearings, the greater the bearing clearance must be.
Test procedure

Assembly
iglidur® plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter is only set with the corresponding tolerance after pressing into the housing bore. The press-fit interference can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures a secure press fit of the bearings. Axial or radial displacements in the housing are thus reliably avoided.
