iglidur® A181, sleeve bearing, imperial - A181SI

iglidur® A181 | The universal bearing for food contact
The material iglidur® A181 offers both FDA and 10/2011 EC conformity. The blue colour also facilitates the "optical detectability" often required in the food sector. iglidur® A181 is comparable to iglidur® A180 in terms of mechanical specifications, temperature and media resistance, and even better regarding wear resistance in most constellations.

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® plain 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.
