iglidur® UW160, sleeve bearing, mm - UW160SM

iglidur® UW160 | KTW-compliant, suitable for contact with drinking water
 

• Extreme wear resistance in liquid under continuous operation
• Suitable for contact with drinking water (KTW-compliant)
• Good media-resistance
• Lubrication and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

iglidur® UW160 was developed quite specifically with regard to maximum wear resistance in media-based continuous operation. In such applications, low radial loads and moderate temperatures generally occur. Suitability for contact with drinking water and very good media resistance round off the property profile.

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.
