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

• Extremely wear-resistant in liquid for long-term operation
• Suitable for contact with drinking water (KTW-compliant)
• Good media-resistance
• Lubrication- and maintenance-free
• Standard range from stock

iglidur® UW160 was developed specifically for maximum wear resistance in media-based continuous operation. In such applications, low radial loads and moderate temperatures usually occur. The suitability for contact with drinking water and very good durability complete the profile of properties.

Tolerances and measurement system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of iglidur® plain bearings are a function of the material and wall thicknesses. 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 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 in the correctly toleranced housing. The press-fit excess dimension can be up to 2% of the inner diameter. This ensures the secure press-fitting of the bearing. Axial or radial movement in the housing are prevented this way.
