The avoidance of electrostatic charging is an important requirement in many areas of application. At the same time, the other technical application parameters such as wear resistance, media and temperature resistance, usability in humid environments, etc. must not be neglected. iglidur® F2 with its broad property profile represents a new universal bearing for numerous "ESD-compatible" applications.

Y = load [MPa]

Mechanical specification
The compressive strength of iglidur® F2 plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram 02 illustrates this correlation. At the long-term permissible application temperature of +120 °C, the permissible surface pressure is still 20 MPa. The maximum recommended surface pressure represents a mechanical material parameter. Conclusions on the tribology cannot be drawn from this.

Diagram 03 shows the elastic deformation of iglidur® F2 under radial load. Under the maximum recommended surface pressure of 47 MPa, the deformation is less than 2.6 %.Plastic deformation can be ignored up to this compressive load. However, it is also dependent on the duration of the impact.

Table 02: Maximum surface speed

Permissible sliding speeds
The maximum permissible sliding speeds depend on the operating time and the type of movement. A plain bearing is subjected to the highest loads during long-lasting rotating movements. Here, the maximum speed for iglidur® F2 bearings is 0.8 m/s. The values specified in Table 02 can often not be achieved in practice due to interactions.

Table 03: Temperature limits for iglidur® F2

Temperatures
The ambient temperature has a strong influence on the properties of plain bearings. The compressive strength of iglidur® F2 plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram. 02 illustrates this relationship. Additional protection is required at temperatures higher than +70 °C.

diagram. 06 shows the results of the tests of various shaft materials with plain bearings made of iglidur® F2. In the lower load range, free-cutting steel and hard-anodised aluminium shafts, but also HR carbon steel and hard-chrome-plated steel shafts prove to be the most favourable mating partners in terms of wear in rotating applications with iglidur® F2 plain bearings. diagram. 07 shows significantly lower wear in rotation compared to swivel movements over the entire load spectrum with otherwise comparable curves.

Table 06: Moisture absorption of iglidur® F2

Moisture absorption
The moisture absorption of iglidur® F2 bearings is about 0.2 % in a normal climate. The saturation limit in water is 0.4 % and thus very low. This must be taken into account under appropriate operating conditions.

Table 07: Important tolerances for iglidur® F2 plain bearings according to ISO 3547-1 after press-fitting

Installation tolerances
iglidur® F2 bearings are standard bearings for shafts with tolerance (recommended minimum h9). The bearings are designed to be pressed into an H7-toleranced mounting; after installation in a mounting with nominal dimensions, the inner diameter of the bearing is automatically adjusted with E10 tolerance in standard cases. For certain dimensions, the tolerance deviates depending on the wall thickness (see product range).
