Bearing
Plastic and high temperatures? Yes, even as a connection to actuators of turbochargers or in EGR valves, iglidur® high-temperature materials are represented millions of times as plain bearings or coupling rods. With permanent application temperatures of up to 250 ° C and briefly 300 ° C, plastic plain bearings are used in almost all engine […]
Not since the breakthrough of additive manufacturing processes, such as laser sintering and 3D printing, has a variety of tools been available for creating polymer components and parts. Now there are no limits to the imagination. The only problem is that thanks to 3D printing, dreams of plastic are facing a nasty surprise. Often it […]
Coordinated thermal management is essential for the vehicle to be as efficient as possible. Under the optimal operating temperature, the highest efficiency and therefore the lowest consumption and the minimum emissions are achieved. The coolant plays an important role in this, as well as cooling to protect against corrosion and prevent frost. Coolant pumps, controllers […]
Too much dirt in the bearing? Basically, many plain bearings – depending on the type – are much less sensitive to dirtthan rolling bearings. But as it often happens, if it’s too much, it’s too much.At the latest when the entire bearing clearance is filled with dirt, no one is wonderingabout problems. Especially with abrasive […]
Lubrication-free iglidur J plain bearings replace metallic solutions in grape destemming machines This year, the grape harvest in Baden, Germany, makes an early start at the beginning of August. Experts expect it to be one of the best years ever in the southern region the country. After harvesting, gentle processing of the grape plays a […]
What is fogging? Generally speaking, fogging refers to the outgassing of individual material parts that condense in the surroundings of the component. Usually, the fogging effect is associated with heated living spaces. Here, black-dust settlements occur in flats during the heating period. Typical signs of fogging are planar black coating or black dust that sticks […]
