iglidur® A200 | FDA-compliant, for low speeds
Plain bearings made from iglidur® A200 are suitable for application in direct contact with food. They are the ideal solution for bearing positions in machines for the food industry, medical equipment manufacturing, for small household equipment, etc. As the incorporation of solid lubricants is dispensed with in favour of food compatibility, the thermoplastic composition of iglidur® A200 is especially adapted for abrasion resistance. In addition, iglidur® A200 is characterised by its ability to encapsulate dirt and quiet running.

Tolerances and measuring system
The installation height and tolerances of iglidur® plain bearings are dependent 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 bearing clearance. The rule of thumb for wall thickness: the thicker the wall of the bearings, the larger the clearances must be.
Testing methods
 
Assembly
iglidur® plain bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter adjusts only after press-fitting into the correctly toleranced housing hole. The press-fit interference can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures that the bearing is securely press-fitted. Axial or radial movements in the housing are also prevented in this way.
