iglidur® UW500 | For hot liquids and fast, continuous movements
 

• For underwater use at high temperatures
• For fast and constant movement
• Lubrication- and maintenance-free

iglidur® UW500 was developed for underwater applications at temperatures up to +250 °C. In addition, the bearings with flange will run in chemicals which would act as a lubricant.

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.
