The use of plastic plain bearings facilitates 8 x longer service life

Test results for St52 / gas nitrified

In an effort to continuously improve our product range and to address your specific needs, we are reviewing various shaft materials and extensively testing these with a variety of bearing solutions in our igus® dry-tech® lab.
 
You can find the results for our test results for St52 / gas nitrified here.
 
We are currently also conducting tests on the following shafts / coatings:

St52 / un-coated

C45 / un-coated

Piston rods / hard-chromed

St52 / saltbath nitrocarburised

C45 / galvanised

1

Wear rate [μm/km]

2

iglidur® Q

3

iglidur® G

4

iglidur® Z

5

Brass with initial lubrication

6

Rolled metal with gliding layer

Conclusion:

all tested iglidur® materials exhibit significantly lower wear than metal plain bearings

the shafts of the metal plain bearings exhibit significant wear and are therefore unsuited for further use
