iglidur® H370 is a further development of the iglidur® H series. The material is characterised by particularly low total moisture absorption and significantly improved wear resistance. With regard to the mechanical and thermal characteristics, iglidur® H370 shows the same specification as iglidur® ® H.

Mechanical specification
The maximum recommended surface pressure represents a mechanical material parameter. Conclusions on the tribology cannot be drawn from it. The compressive strength ofiglidur® H370 bearings decreases with increasing temperatures. diagram. 02 illustrates this correlation.

diagram. 03 shows how iglidur® H370 deforms elastically under radial load. Under the maximum recommended surface pressure of 75 MPa, the deformation at room temperature is approx. 2.5 %.

Table 02: Maximum surface speed

Permissible sliding speeds
The maximum permissible surface speed depends on whether the temperature at the bearing point does not rise too much. iglidur® H370 is suitable for sliding speeds of up to 1.2 m/s (rotating) to 4 m/s (linear).

The maximum values given in Table 02 only apply to very low pressure loads and are often not achieved in practice.

Table 03: Temperature limits for iglidur® H370

Temperatures
With increasing temperatures, the compressive strength of iglidur® H370 bearings decreases. The temperatures prevailing in the bearing system also have an influence on the bearing wear. The wear increases with rising temperatures. Additional protection is required at temperatures higher than +100 °C.

Friction and wear
The coefficient of friction, like the wear resistance, changes only slightly with increasing load and also with increasing speed (diagrams 04 and 05).

Shaft materials
The diagrams 06 and 07 show test results with different shaft materials, which were carried out with bearings made of iglidur® H370.

At loads of up to 2 MPa, the hard chrome-plated shaft is the best mating partner for iglidur® H370 bearings in rotating applications. The high wear values for 304 SS shafts, which tend to stick-slip due to their very smooth surface, are striking. The HR carbon steel shaft exhibits better values than Cf53 from 2 MPa, despite the same values in the lowest range. On the other hand, the 304 SS-shaft shows a clear superiority in swivelling movements.

Chemical resistance
iglidur® H370 plain bearings have good resistance to chemicals. They are resistant to most lubricants.

Most weak organic and inorganic acids do not attack iglidur®.

iglidur® H370 plain bearings are electrically insulating.

Radioactive radiation
H370 withstands both neutron and gamma particle radiation without any noticeable loss of its excellent mechanical specification. Bearings made from iglidur® H370 are radiation-resistant up to a radiation intensity of 2 x 10² Gy.

Table 06: Moisture absorption of iglidur® H370

Moisture absorption
The moisture absorption of iglidur® H370 bearings is less than 0.1 % in a normal climate. The saturation limit in water is also below 0.1 %. iglidur® H370 is therefore also the most suitable bearing material for underwater applications.

Installation tolerances
iglidur® H370 plain bearings are standard bearings for shafts with tolerance (recommended minimum h9).the bearings are designed to be pressed into aH7-toleranced mounting. After installation in a mounting with nominal dimensions, the inner diameter of the bearing with F10 tolerance is automatically adjusted; for certain dimensions, the tolerance deviates depending on the wall thickness (see product range).
