Wear comparison of iglide® L500 and sintered bearing
Result of wear test - sintered bearing against iglide® L500
x-axis: Gliding speed [m/s]
y-axis: Wear rate [µm/km]
Orange: iglide® L500
Grey: Sintered bearing
Specially developed for fast continuous operation under low loads, iglide® L500, is intended for fan and electric motor applications.
The newly developed iglide® L500 was compared with a sintered bearing in the igus® laboratory. The aim was to determine the wear rates at various gliding speeds.
The comparison took place under the following test parameters:
Rotating wear against cf53
P = 0,25 MPa (36 psi)
T = 23°C (73 ºF)
Duration = 24 h
Plain bearing: iglide® L500, sintered bearing
Result:
The lowest wear rates were achieved by the iglide® L500 plain bearing in all tested gliding speeds.
