iglidur® GLW, sleeve bearing, imperial - GLWSI

iglidur® GLW | Low-cost material for large volumes
With plain bearings made of the material iglidur® GLW, we can offer our customers an alternative to iglidur® G for large volume applications. Featuring similar mechanical design as iglidur® G, iglidur® GLW plain bearings are primarily recommended for static loads. For these applications, the dynamic properties of iglidur® G are unimportant to a degree and iglidur® GLW presents a cost-effective alternative.

Tolerances and measuring system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglidur® bearings depend on the material and wall thickness. Moisture absorption and thermal expansion are decisive for the material. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be designed with a minimal amount of bearing clearance. The following applies to the wall thickness: The thicker the bearings, the greater the bearing clearance must be.
Test procedure

Installation
iglidur® bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter is only adjusted to the appropriate tolerance after pressing into the housing bore. The press-fit interference can be up to 2% of the inside diameter. This ensures the secure press-fitting of the bearing. Axial or radial displacements in the housing are thus reliably avoided.
