iglidur plain bearings are press-fit bearings, which are dimensionally oversized and pressed into a housing with H7 tolerance. This is not always done in an assembly line using suitable tools. The igus assembly aid flexibly and reliably accepts plain bearings for shaft diameters from 13–50mm (PT-1350) and 6–20mm (PT-0620) and even permits assembly using a hammer - simple and fast.
iglidur plain bearings are delivered ready-to-fit. The extensive product line makes it possible to use a standard dimension in most cases. If for some reason, a subsequent machining of the plain bearing is necessary, the adjacent table shows the machining standard values. The subsequent machining of the sliding surfaces is to be avoided if possible. Higher wear rate is most often the result. An exception is, for example, iglidur M250 which is very suitable for subsequent machining. In other iglidur plain bearings, disadvantages of a sliding surface machining can be counteracted by lubrication during installation.
