X = surface speed [m/s]
Y = load [MPa]

When plain bearings need to be electrically conductive, especially in applications that should keep out static, iglidur® F is the right choice. Moreover, the iglidur® F plain bearings are extremely pressure-resistant. At room temperature, they could be statically loaded up to 105MPa.

Y = load [MPa]

Mechanical specification
The maximum recommended surface pressure represents a mechanical material parameter. The compressive strength of iglidur® F plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram 02 illustrates this correlation. At the long-term permissible application temperature of +140 °C, the permissible surface pressure is still 50 MPa.

diagram. 03 shows the elastic deformation of iglidur® F under radial load. Under the maximum recommended surface pressure of 105 MPa, the deformation is less than 3.0 %.Plastic deformation can be ignored up to this pressure load. However, it also depends on the duration of the load.

Table 02: Maximum surface speed

Permissible sliding speeds
The maximum permissible sliding speeds depend on the duration of operation and the type of movement; a plain bearing is subjected to the highest loads during long-lasting rotating movements. Here, the maximum speed for iglidur® F bearings is 0.8 m/s. Otherwise, the maximum values specified in Table 02 can only be achieved with the lowest pressure loads. These limit values can often not be achieved in practice due to interactions.

Table 03: Temperature limits for iglidur® F

Temperatures
The ambient temperature has a strong influence on the properties of plain bearings. As temperatures rise, the compressive strength of iglidur® F plain bearings decreases and wear also increases. Additional protection is required at temperatures higher than +105 °C.

Friction and wear
The coefficients of friction in dry operation are not as favourable with iglidur® F bearings as with various other iglidur® materials. However, iglidur®® bearings can be lubricated without hesitation, and in comparison with lubricated iglidur®® bearings, iglidur®® F bearings achieve excellent results.

Shaft materials
Diagrams 06 and 07 show an extension of the results of tests with different shaft materials carried out with plain bearings made from iglidur® F. In the lowest load range, the hard-chrome plated shaft proves to be the most favourable mating partner for rotating applications with iglidur® F plain bearings.

Table 05: chemical resistance of iglidur® F

Chemical resistance
iglidur® F plain bearings have good resistance to chemicals. The particularly high resistance to lubricants should be emphasised, even at high temperatures (around +120 °C). This makes iglidur® F plain bearings particularly suitable for applications that - perhaps due to other components - have to run under lubrication. iglidur® F is not affected by most weak organic and inorganic acids.

Moisture absorption
The moisture absorption of iglidur® F bearings is about 1.8 % in a normal climate. The saturation limit in water is 8.4 %. This must be taken into account under appropriate operating conditions.

Table 07: Important tolerances for iglidur® F plain bearings according to ISO 3547-1 after press-fitting

Installation tolerances
iglidur® F plain bearings are standard bearings for shafts with tolerance (recommended minimum h9).the bearings are designed for press-fitting into aH7-toleranced mounting. After installation in a mounting with nominal dimensions, the inner diameter of the bearing with D11 tolerance is automatically adjusted; for certain dimensions, the tolerance deviates from this depending on the wall thickness (see product range).
