iglide® - maintenance-free flange bearings
 
With this design it is possible to use iglide® high performance plain bearings in locations where recommended housing bore tolerances are not possible. Due to the design of the bearing, high loads are possible although there is a minimal precision requirement of the housing.
 
One main advantage of iglide® J flange bearings is the combination of a low coefficient of friction when running dry and the low stick-slip tendency. With a recommended maximum surface pressure of 5076 psi, iglide® J flange bearings are not suitable for extreme loads.

• Very good wear resistance
• Lightweight
• Lubrication-free

 

When to use it? When a screwed-on flange bearing is desired When using a clip bearing solution as a plate feed-through is not sufficient When extremely high absorption tolerances are present When the press fit of a press-in bearing is not sufficient to secure the bearing axially

When not to use? When an additional angular alignment is required When a screw connection is not possible When a large guide length is required Use our filter options to find the suitable product

Assembly
 
Various securing methods are considered depending on the loads. For low radial loads, it is sufficient to mount iglide® flange bearings on one surface simply with two bolts. For higher radial loads, it advisable to support the iglide® flange bearing in a hole. For this hole, large tolerances are permitted, since it serves only as additional support for the iglide® flange bearing. In order to achieve higher radial loads in the bearings, the iglide® flange bearing can be press-fit into a recommended housing bore with H tolerances. The additional bolts ensure the fit of the bearing in the housing. No special tools or equipment are required to install iglide® maintenance-free flange bearings. Even aligning bearings on shafts with multiple bearings is easy during installation.
