iglidur® AB was specially developed for applications in areas with high hygiene requirements. Such applications often involve manually operated swivels (doors, medical furniture, etc.). The material reduces the germ load in the bearing gap, but - like all "antibacterial" materials - is no substitute for appropriate hygiene measures.

Mechanical specification
The compressive strength of iglidur® AB plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. The maximum recommended surface pressure is a mechanical material parameter. No conclusions can be drawn about the tribology.

Table 03: Maximum surface speed

Permissible sliding speeds
iglidur® AB is predominantly suitable for low sliding speeds in dry operation, whereby the limit values specified in Table 03 can only be achieved at very low pressure loads. At the specified speeds, friction can lead to an increase up to the limit of the permanently permissible temperature. In practice, these limit values cannot always be achieved due to the interaction of various influences.

Temperatures
The temperatures prevailing in the bearing system also have an influence on bearing wear. Wear increases with rising temperatures, and the effect is particularly noticeable from a temperature of +60 °C. An additional fuse is required at temperatures above +50 °C.

friction and wear
The coefficient of friction and wear resistance depend on the application parameters (diagrams 04 and 05).

Shaft materials
Friction and wear are also highly dependent on the mating partner. Shafts that are too smooth increase both the coefficient of friction and the wear of the bearing.diagram. 06 shows an extension of the results of tests with different shaft materials. When rotating with a load of 1 MPa, the wear on all the shafts tested is very similar. Only the hard-anodised aluminium shafts lead to noticeably increased wear. The wear rate in swivelling and rotation with increasing load is also very close to each other with otherwise identical parameters, as shown in diagram 07.

Table 07: Important tolerances according to ISO 3547-1 after press-fitting

Installation tolerances
iglidur® AB plain bearings are standard bearings for shafts with tolerance (recommended minimum h9). The bearings are designed to be pressed into an H7-toleranced mounting. after installation in a mounting with nominal dimensions, the inner diameter of the bearing with E10 tolerance adjusts itself. Compared to the installation tolerance, the inner diameter changes depending on the moisture absorption; for certain dimensions, the tolerance deviates from this depending on the wall thickness (see product range).
