To find the ideal iglidur® material for a manufacturer of high-end mountain bike pedals, we received different shafts of titanium and chrome molybdenum steel, as well as bearings of a competitor. On this basis we tested our iglidur® plain bearings in the iglidur® laboratory.
The trials were executed under the following test parameters:
Shafts: Titanium, chromoloy steel
Load: 4.53 MPa
Slide speed: 0.03 m/s
The iglidur® J3 bearings have the lowest wear rate on both shaft materials (36.6 μm/km to 73.3 μm/km). These were the best test scores in the test. In contrast, the plain bearings of the competitor material wear out on both shaft materials at rates of 329.7 μm/km to 776.2 μm/km.
The new endurance runner: up to three times more wear resistant than iglidur® J up to 10 MPa
