X = surface speed [m/s]
Y = load [MPa]
iglidur® GV0 is the first iglidur® material with V0 rating according to UL94 for universal use in the normal temperature range. all other iglidur® materials with V0 rating belong to the high temperature segment. The general mechanical and thermal specifications are largely comparable with the all-rounder iglidur® G.

Mechanical specification
The compressive strength of iglidur® G V0 plain bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram 02 illustrates this relationship. At the long-term permissible application temperature of +130 °C, the permissible surface pressure is still around 35 MPa. The maximum recommended surface pressure represents a mechanical material parameter. Conclusions about the tribology cannot be drawn from this.

Diagram 03: Deformation under pressure and temperature
X = load [MPa]
Y = Deformation [%]
diagram. 03 shows the elastic deformation of iglidur® G V0 under radial load. Plastic deformation can be neglected up to a pressure of approx. 100 MPa, but is also dependent on the duration of the load.

Friction and wear
Like the wear resistance, the coefficient of friction μ also changes with the load.Interestingly, the coefficient of friction decreases significantly with increasing load, while an increasing sliding speed causes a slight increase in the coefficient of friction.This correlation explains the excellent suitability of iglidur® G V0 plain bearings for high loads and low speeds (diagrams 04 and 05).

Shaft materials
Friction and wear are also highly dependent on the mating partner. Shafts that are too smooth increase both the coefficient of friction and the wear of the bearing. iglidur® G V0 is best suited for a ground surface with an average surface finish Ra between 0.6 and 0.8 μm. diagram. 06 shows an extension of the results of tests with different shaft materials that were carried out with iglidur® G V0 bearings. In this context, it is important to note that the recommended hardness of the shaft increases with increasing loads. If the load exceeds 2 MPa, it should be borne in mind that the wear rate (the curve gradient) tends to decrease with the hardness of the shaft material.The comparison of rotating and swivelling movements shows that iglidur® G is particularly advantageous in swivelling movements (diagram 07).
