iglidur® AX500, sleeve bearing, mm - AX500SM

iglidur® AX500 | conductive material for high temperatures and food contact
iglidur AX500 is a further development of iglidur A500, a long-term endurance material. The special feature of AX500 is that it is a conductive material. In addition, AX500 has an even lower coefficient of wear than its predecessor. The material was specially developed for the food industry and can therefore be used in contact with food products.

Tolerances and measuring system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglidur® bearings depend on the material and wall thickness. 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 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.
