iglide® J | The versatile endurance runner
 

• Over 250 dimensions available from stock
• Low wear against different shaft materials
• Low coefficients of friction in dry operation
• Vibration-dampening
• Good resistance to chemicals
• Best material to use with soft shaft materials
• Low humidity absorption

One main advantage of iglide® J plain bearings is the combination of a low coefficient of friction in dry operation and the low stick-slip tendency. With a recommended maximum surface pressure of 5076 psi, iglide® J plain bearings are not suitable for extreme loads.

When not to use? When high pressures occur If temperatures are higher than +194 °F When a cost-effective bearing for occasional movements is necessary   Use our filter options to find the most suitable product

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.
Testing methods
 
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.
