iglidur® A180, sleeve bearing, mm - A180SM

iglidur® A180 | The FDA-compliant all-rounder
Bearings made of iglidur® A180 are suitable for use in direct contact with food. They are therefore the ideal solution for bearing points on machines for the food and packaging industry, medical equipment manufacturing, small household appliances, etc. Even where wet cleaning or process-related contact with moist media is the order of the day, iglidur® A180 is characterised by minimal moisture absorption.

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 installed with a small bearing clearance. The following applies to the wall thickness: The thicker the bearings, the greater the bearing clearance must be.
Test procedure

Assembly
iglidur® plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter is only set with the corresponding tolerance after pressing into the housing bore. The press-fit interference can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures a secure press fit of the bearings. Axial or radial displacements in the housing are thus reliably avoided.
