Plain bearings for thermal management

The alternative to carbon graphite bearings in coolant pumps and valves

With the continuing trend towards BEV, PHEV and HEV, the importance of thermal management (TM) is increasing and with it the demands on the systems. igus offers the right bearing for various TM applications such as water pumps and cooling water manufacturers and will be happy to support you in your selection.

Bearing requirements in TM applications:

Resistance to water-glycol
Temperatures up to 150°C
No leakage over service life
Resistant to contamination from moulding sand

Advantages of igus plain bearings:

Cost advantages over carbon graphite, PTFE and ceramic bearings
Quiet operation
Up to 80% weight savings
Ideally suited in combination with plastic shafts
Overmoulding possible

Markus Feth, Head of Automotive iglidur Bearing Technology, explains the advantages of iglidur plain bearings compared to carbon graphite bearings in coolant pumps.
