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

When developing iglidur® R as a plain bearing material, the focus was on high performance and a very low price. In particular, low friction and wear values were to be achieved in dry operation. The PTFE- and silicone-free material achieves outstandingly low coefficients of friction in dry operation and runs largely stick-slip-free.

X = temperature [°C]
Y = load [MPa]

Mechanical specification
The maximum recommended surface pressure represents a mechanical material parameter. It is not possible to draw conclusions about the tribology from this. the compressive strength of iglidur® R plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram 02 illustrates this relationship.

Diagram 03: Deformation under pressure and temperature

X = load [MPa]
Y = Deformation [%]

diagram. 03 shows the elastic deformation of iglidur® R under radial load. Under the maximum permissible load of 23 MPa, the deformation is 4 %. Plastic deformation can be neglected up to this value. However, it also depends on the duration of the load.

Table 02: Maximum surface speed

Permissible sliding speeds
iglidur® R plain bearings are suitable for high sliding speeds. For linear movements, short-term speeds of up to 10 m/s are permissible! Here too, the specified maximum values can only be achieved under the lowest pressure loads. The specified values show the speed at which friction causes an increase up to the limit of the permanently permissible temperature.

Table 03: Temperature limits for iglidur® R

Temperatures
The compressive strength of iglidur® R plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram 02 illustrates this correlation. The temperatures prevailing in the bearing system also have an influence on bearing wear, and additional protection is required at temperatures higher than +50 °C.

Diagram 04: Coefficient of friction as a function of the surface speed, p = 0.75MPa

X = surface speed [m/s]
Y = coefficient of friction μ

Friction and wear
The coefficient of friction decreases with increasing load, as does the wear resistance. iglidur® R is particularly suitable for applications in which high pv values are mainly caused by the high surface speed and not so much by the surface pressure. The dependence of the coefficient of friction of iglidur® R plain bearings on shaft roughness is less pronounced.

Shaft materials
Diagrams 06 and 07 show an extension of the results of tests with different shaft materials that were carried out with plain bearings from iglidur® R. At 0.3 m/s and 1 MPa, the high grade steel and Cf53 shafts are the best sliding partners. With increasing load, iglidur®®R-bearing with Cf53 and 304 SS shafts show the best wear behaviour, while hard chrome-plated shafts prove to be a good sliding partner in swivel operation.

Moisture absorption
The moisture absorption of iglidur® R bearings is about 0.2 % in a normal climate. The saturation limit in water is 1.1 %. This must be taken into account under appropriate operating conditions.

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

Installation tolerances
iglidur® R 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. For certain dimensions, the tolerance deviates from this depending on the wall thickness (see product range).
