Mechanical properties

Maximum recommended surface pressure represents a mechanical material parameter. Tribological conclusions cannot be drawn from it. With increasing temperatures, the compressive strength of iglidur® H2 bearings decreases. Fig. 02 clarifies this connection.
 
Figure 03 shows the elastic deformation of iglidur® H2 with radial loads. Under the maximum recommended surface pressure of 110 MPa, the deformation at room temperature amounts to less than 3 %. The values for bending and compressive strengths lie above those of iglidur® H at room temperature.

Permitted surface speeds

In the development of iglidur® H2, cost aspects and mechanical stability were in focus. The permitted surface speeds of this bearing are rather low, which primarily permits an application with slow movements or in intermittent service.

Temperatures

iglidur® H2 is an extremely temperature-resistant material. The short-term permitted maximum temperature is +240°C, and this enables the iglidur® H2 plain bearings to be used, for instance, in a paint drying process without further load. With increasing temperatures, however, the compressive strength of iglidur® H2 plain bearings decreases more strongly than in iglidur® H. The temperatures prevailing in the bearing system also have an influence on the bearing wear. The wear rises with increasing temperatures. An additional securing is recommended at temperatures higher than +110°C.

Friction and wear

The figures 04 to 06 clarify how the coefficients of friction of iglidur® H2 bearings alter with different surface speeds, loads and surface finishes.

shaft materials

Regarding the wear resistance of combinations with iglidur® H2, it must be pointed out once again that this bearing was developed for high mechanical stability. The wear resistance however does not attain, with none of the bearing-shaft combinations, the values of iglidur® H370 with the corresponding shaft.
 
When the iglidur® H2 bearings are used, they should not be combined with hard-chromed shafts. Shafts made of CF53 and V2A are essentially better, as is found in Figures 06 and 07.

Chemical resistance

iglidur® H2 bearings have a good resistance against chemicals. They are resistant to most lubricants. The iglidur® H2 is not affected by most weak organic and inorganic acids. The humidity absorption of iglidur® H2 bearings is about 0.1% in standard climatic conditions. The saturation limit in water is 0,2%. iglidur® H2 is therefore the ideal material for wet areas.

Radioactive rays

iglidur® H2 withstands both the neutron and gamma particle radiations without noticeable loss to its excellent mechanical properties. iglidur® H2 bearings are radiation resistant up to a radioactive intensity of 2 x 10² Gy.

UV-resistant

iglidur® H2 bearings alter under the influence of UV rays and other climatic influences. The surface becomes coarser, and the compressive strength declines. Therefore the use of iglidur® H2 in applications directly exposed to climatic conditions should be tested.

Vacuum

The low water elements degas in the vacuum. The use in vacuum is possible.

Electrical properties

iglidur® H2 bearings are electrically insulating.

humidity absorption / moisture absorption

The humidity absorption of iglidur® H2 bearings is about 0,1% in standard climatic conditions. The saturation limit in water is 0,2 %. iglidur® H2 is therefore the ideal material for wet areas.

Installation tolerances

iglidur® H2 bearings are standard bearings for shafts with h-tolerance (recommended minimum h9).

After the installation in a housing bore with H7 tolerance, the inner diameter of the bearing automatically adjusts to F10 tolerance.
