iglidur® H4 bearings stand for high load capacity, good abrasion resistance and good temperature resistance when economic aspects are also a priority. Temperatures up to +200 °C, permissible surface pressure up to 65 MPa and very good chemical resistance are just some of the key attributes. Solid lubricants lower the coefficient of friction and support the wear resistance, which has been significantly improved compared to the likewise very cost-effective iglidur® H2 bearings. iglidur® H4 bearings are self-lubricating and suitable for all movements.

Mechanical specification
The maximum recommended surface pressure is a mechanical material parameter. Conclusions on the tribology cannot be drawn from this. The compressive strength of iglidur® H4 bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram.02 illustrates this correlation. At the long-term permissible application temperature of +200 °C, the permissible surface pressure is still 7 MPa.

Permissible sliding speeds
Compared to the cost-effective iglidur® H2 plain bearings, iglidur® H4 has a much more favourable friction coefficient. This is the reason for the higher permissible sliding speeds that can be achieved with these bearings.
1 m/s. The speeds given in Table 02 are limit values for the lowest bearing loads. At higher loads, the permissible speed decreases with the load due to the limitations of thepv value.

Temperatures
iglidur® H4 is a temperature-resistant material, which is why iglidur® H4 plain bearings can be used in applications in which bearings are subjected to a drying process without further load. However, the compressive strength ofiglidur® H4 bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. The additional frictional heat in the bearing system must be taken into account. Additional protection is required at temperatures higher than +110 °C.

Friction and wear
The coefficient of friction of iglidur® H4 plain bearings is very low (diagrams 04 and 05). However, it must be noted that a rough sliding partner increases the friction.

Shaft materials
iglidur® H4 is the economical alternative to many other high-temperature bearings precisely because of the large number of shaft materials that can be used. However, it is important to select the suitable shaft material. It cannot generally be said that iglidur® H4 is better suited for hard or soft shafts. Tests have shown that swivelling movements lead to better wear data; in rotating operation, wear increases significantly from 10 MPa.

Table 06: Moisture absorption of iglidur® H4

The moisture absorption of iglidur® H4 bearings is less than 0.1 % in a normal climate. The saturation limit in water is 0.2 %. iglidur® H4 is therefore the ideal material for wet environments.

Table 07: Important tolerances for iglidur® H4 plain bearings according to ISO 3547-1 after press-fitting

Installation tolerances
iglidur® H4 plain bearings are standard bearings for shafts with tolerance (recommended minimum h9).

The bearings are designed to be pressed into anH7-toleranced mounting. After installation in a mounting with nominal dimensions, the inner diameter of the bearing with F10 tolerance is automatically adjusted; for certain dimensions, the tolerance deviates from this depending on the wall thickness (see product range).
