Bearing technology for the engine compartment

For use as release bearings, we recommend materials that are not only media and temperature resistant up to 200°C, but also cost-effective: iglidur H2 plain bearings or the regranulate variant iglidur HLW.

Cost-effective iglidur H2 plain bearings are also the right choice in the release fork. We manufacture sliders for the crossbars and spherical caps for the head of the release fork as special parts in customer-specific shape, e.g. from iglidur X or iglidur W300 with exceptionally high wear resistance.

Guide rings made of the material iglidur H1 are ideal for stroke movements with micro-swivelling in the clutch release. Designed for high continuous operating temperatures, the wear-resistant material ensures a long service life with a constant coefficient of friction.

For use in the DMF, iglidur H1 is also the right choice as a wear-resistant endurance runner at high temperatures with very high media resistance. In practice, the material is successfully used as plain bearing and as thrust washer in special dimensions.

No contact corrosion on the shift rod as with metallic sockets and better dampening: with temperature-resistant iglidur plain bearings made of the materials iglidur H4 (highly wear-resistant), iglidur H2 (cost-effective) or iglidur X (very pressure-resistant). Customised sliders in a special shape made of iglidur X are used on the crossbars.

Vibration-dampening and resistant to persistent vibrations and friction: iglidur J flange bearings and thrust washers, for rotation igubal spherical bearing KGLM with compensation of edge loads. We also manufacture these as customised special parts for mechanisms with detent pins.
