Service life increases and costs are cut when plain bearings have reduced wear. A comparative test on behalf of a customer contrasts wear on an iglidur® H1 plain bearing with the previously used PTFE solution and other iglidur® materials. Testing was performed with the following parameters:
Travel distance: 40 km
Load 0,5 MPa
Test temperature: 23 °C and 130 °C
bearing types: iglidur® H1, iglidur® H4, iglidur® J350, PTFE-bearings
The wear characteristics of all tested iglidur® materials are significantly better than those of the PTFE plain bearing. At 130 °C, the wear rate of the PTFE plain bearing is 55.7 µm/km, and 0.3 µm/km for iglidur® H1.
