Product description
igubal® spherical bearing

The use of spherical bearings is usually associated with high weights of the bearings, difficult installation and high costs. In most cases, however, maintenance is required in the longer term and the bearings are only corrosion-free in special designs. Often roller bearings or plain bearings malfunction prematurely due to high edge loads, or because they need to be readjusted, reamed, or refitted in order to compensate for alignment errors. igubal® spherical bearings ends these disadvantages and opens up new possibilities through their design: They are easy to handle, cost-effective, very lightweight and very robust.

The housing is made of igumid® G, a particularly impact-resistant, long-fibre reinforced polymer. Suitable for temperatures from -30°C to +80°C in long-term use.

Here, the spherical ball is made of iglidur® UW, a material for underwater applications with higher temperatures up to +250°C. In addition, the plain bearings will run in chemicals which would act as a lubricant.
  • Maintenance-free dry operation

When to use it?
  • When I have high axial and radial load
  • For the simplest installation
  • When extremely small installation spaces are available
  • When chemical resistance is required
  • If a cost-effective alternative is needed
  • When dirt-resistant bearings are required
  • If misalignments are to be compensated
When not to use it?
  • If temperatures are higher than +80°C
  • If diameters above 30 mm are required
  • If rotation speeds of more than 0.5 m/s are to be achieved


Tolerances
Maintenance-free igubal® spherical bearings are designed with a tolerance in the inner diameter according to E10. The shaft tolerance should be between h6 and h9. The bearing clearance compensates for bearing expansion due to warming.Assembly
Due to the tolerance compensation, no exactly toleranced housing is required. Please refer to the technical data for the respective maximum and minimum dimensions of the housing hole. In order to achieve the axial loads specified there, the bearing should be additionally secured axially.
