X = Surface speed [m/s]
Y = Load [MPa]
Plain bearings made from iglidur® C were developed especially for applications where the use of PTFE and silicon is not possible. Such applications can be found in electronics, tobacco and beverages industry and in many painting processes. Keywords like paint compatibility and silicon-free make the further employment of this material reasonable.

Mechanical specifications
With increasing temperatures, the compressive strength of iglidur® C plain bearings decreases. Diagram 02 shows this relationship. The maximum recommended surface pressure represents a mechanical material parameter. No conclusions regarding the tribological properties can be drawn from this.

Diagram 03: Deformation under pressure and temperature
X = Load [MPa]
Y = Deformation [%]
Diagram 03 shows the elastic deformation of iglidur® C at radial loads. The high flexibility makes the bearing suitable for vibrations and edge loads.

X = Surface speed [m/s]
Y = Coefficient of friction μ
Friction and wear
The coefficient of friction of the iglidur® C plain bearings depends to a large degree on the shaft's surface finish. The wear of the bearings is very good in applications with rotating or pivoting movements with low loads.

Diagram 06 clearly shows how important the most "suitable" shaft can be. Although all shown results of these rotation experiments can be understood as very good, the difference is sometimes significant. This difference increases still further with increasing loads.
