iglidur® A160 | FDA and EU regulation compliant for chemicals and food
iglidur® A160 plain bearings are characterised by extreme media resistance at low costs. Tribologically optimised, the material can be used in temperatures up to +90°C and also conforms to demands of the food processing sector. The profile of properties is completed by the “optical detectability”, i.e. the blue colour, often required in the industry.

Tolerances and measuring system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglidur® plain bearings depend on the material and wall thickness. For each material, the moisture absorption and the thermal expansion are decisive factors. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be installed with a smaller bearing clearance. The rule for wall thickness: the thicker the wall of the bearings, the larger the clearances must be.
Testing methods
Assembly
iglidur® plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter is only adjusted to the appropriate tolerance after pressing into the housing. The press-fit excess dimension can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures the secure press-fitting of the bearings. Axial or radial movements in the housing are reliably avoided.
