iglidur® A200 | FDA-compliant, for low speeds
 

• iglidur® A200 material complies with food and drug administration (FDA) regulations
• For direct contact with food
• For low speeds
• Lubrication- and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

Bearings made from iglidur® A200 are suitable for applications in direct contact with food. Hence they are the ideal solution for bearing positions in machines for the food industry, medical equipment manufacturing, for small equipment for households, etc. As the incorporation of solid lubricants is dispensed with in favour of food compatibility, the thermoplastic composition of iglidur® A200 is especially adapted for abrasion resistance. In addition, iglidur® A200 is characterised by its ability to encapsulate dirt and quiet running.

Tolerances and measurement system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of iglidur® plain bearings are a function of the material and wall thicknesses. For each material, the moisture absorption and the thermal expansion are decisive factors. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be designed with a minimal bearing clearance. The rule for wall thickness: the thicker the wall of the bearings, the larger the clearances must be.
Testing methods
 
Assembly
iglidur® plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter adjusts only after press-fitting in the correctly toleranced housing. The press-fit excess dimension can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures the secure press-fitting of the bearing. Axial or radial movement in the housing are prevented this way.
