iglide® M260 polymer sleeve bearing, metric

iglide® M260 | For harsh environments

iglide® M260 was specially developed for use in harsh environments. In addition, care was taken during development to ensure that the material can be used particularly well for injection-molded thick-walled bearings. This makes iglide® M260 particularly suitable for applications in which thick-walled bearings are to be used or replaced that are as robust as possible at the same time.

Tolerances and measurement system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglide® plain bearings are a function of the material and wall thicknesses. For each material, the moisture absorption and the thermal expansion are imperative. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be designed with a minimal amount of tolerance. For wall thickness, the rule is: the thicker the bearings are, the larger the tolerances must be.
 
Assembly
iglide® bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter adjusts only after press-fit in the proper housing bore with a recommended tolerance. The before press-fit oversized dimension can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. In this manner, the secure press-fitting of the bearing is achieved. Axial or radial shifts in the housing are also prevented.
