iglidur® AB, sleeve bearing, mm

iglidur® AB | The first antibacterial iglidur® plain bearing
Plain bearings made of iglidur® AB help to reduce the level of bacterial contamination in bearing points that are difficult to access. iglidur® AB was specifically developed for applications in areas with high hygiene requirements. Often such
applications are manually operated pivots (doors, medical furniture, etc.). The material reduces the level of bacterial contamination but - like all "anti-bacterial" materials - is not a substitute for adequate hygienic measures.

Typical application areas

• Medical technology
• Laboratory technology
• Ventilation systems
• Sanitary furniture and equipment
• Bearings of patient and care furniture

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 bushings. The inner diameter is only adjusted to the appropriate tolerance after pressing into the housing bore. 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 therefore avoided.
