When do I use this material?

When a highly wear-resistant plain bearing is required for medium load ranges
When a low coefficient of friction is required at higher temperatures
When temperatures of over +90°C occur continuously

When do I use a different material?

If you are looking for a highly wear-resistant plain bearing for the normal temperature range and low to medium loads -> iglidur J
When maximum temperature resistance and high wear resistance is required -> iglidur Z, iglidur J350, iglidur V400
When maximum wear resistance is required in an underwater application -> iglidur UW, iglidur H370

Temperature

The temperature resistance makes iglidur W360 a very universal material for plain bearings in various industries. Short-term application temperatures of up to +200°C are permissible. Additional protection is required for temperatures above +90°C.

Permissible surface speeds

iglidur W360 plain bearings are well suited for low and medium speeds in both rotating and oscillating applications. Linear movements can also be supported well with iglidur W360.

Mechanical specifications

The compressive strength of iglidur W360 plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. Diagram 02 illustrates this relationship. At +180°C, the permissible surface pressure is still 10MPa. The maximum recommended surface pressure represents a mechanical material parameter. Conclusions on the tribology cannot be drawn from this. iglidur W360 plain bearings are suitable for a wide range of loads. Diagram 03 shows the deformation under temperature. The behaviour of the materials under short-term stress is shown here.

Friction and wear

The coefficients of friction of iglidur W360 in dry operation against steel is in a very good range. They remain very constant at a low level over the speed. Diagram 04 illustrates this relationship. As the load increases, the coefficient of friction falls sharply, especially up to approx. 15MPa (diagram 05).

Coefficients of friction against steel (Ra = 1μm, 50 HRC):

iglidur W360	dry	Greases	Oil	Water
Coefficient of friction μ	0.07 - 0.21	0.09	0.04	0.04

Shaft materials

In the case of iglidur W360, the surface roughness of the shaft in the range up to 1.6MPa has practically no influence on the coefficient of friction (diagram 06). Diagram 07 shows an extension of the results of tests with different shaft materials. iglidur W360 plain bearings are suitable for all mating surfaces. In rotation at 1MPa load, aluminium hc, Cf53 and the stainless steel shafts stand out. The picture is similar for other loads or in pivoting movements.

Moisture absorption

The moisture absorption of iglidur W360 is low and can be neglected when used in humid environments. However, with a complete saturation of 1.6%, use under water is only possible to a very limited extent.

Installation tolerances

iglidur W360 plain bearings are standard bearings for shafts with h-tolerance (recommended minimum h9). The bearings are designed for press-fit into a housing machined to a H7 tolerance. After being assembled into a nominal size housing, the inner diameter automatically adjusts to the E10 tolerances.

Important tolerances according to ISO 3547-1 after press-fit:
