Clip - Technical Data

Product Range iglide® clip bearings are designed specifically for putting shafts through sheet metal plates.
For this reason, the bearings have flanges located on both ends. The bearings are secured
• Inner diameters:
in the sheet metal plate on both sides after installation.
Inch sizes from 3/16 - 1 in.
The clip bearings are slit at an angle, so installation of the bearings is possible from one side.
Metric sizes from 3 - 25 mm
After installation, the bearing opens and forms a lining for the bore hole in the metal plate.
• For sheet metal thicknesses: The shaft prevents the clip bearing from detaching from the housing. Even during axial move-
Inch sizes from .040 - .135 in. ment, the bearing remains secured in the housing.
Metric sizes from 2, 3 and 4mm In addition, the lateral slit can compensate for bearing expansions due to temperature or
moisture. During expansion, the slit width decreases, and changes so the bearing clearance
Part Number Structure is minimized.
The flange diameter on the smaller side is made to ensure that housings with larger tolerances
Part Number Structure can be properly secured.

Special Properties

iglide clip bearings are manufactured

out of the wear-resistant material iglide
M250. iglide M250 is a plain bearing
material with strong wear-resistance
at average loads. The bearings are
self-lubricating and can be used dry.
The bearings can be lubricated if
desired. The iglide M250 material is
resistant to all common lubricants.

Compressive Strength 7,252

iglide® Clip
The permissible static load of iglide Clip bearings at room 5,802
temperature is 2610 psi. Due to the possibility of high
tolerances in the housing bore, the clip bearing has a high 4,351
compressive strength even for punched holes. For bearing
surfaces that are very small, the vibration-dampening

Installation mm
For installation, the plain bearings are pressed together on
the side with the large flange. The angled slit makes the bearing
spiral -shaped so that it can be placed easily into the metal
plate.
The slit also compensates for expansions of the circumference.
In this way, a tight clearance is possible with the clip bearings.
The recommended clearance allows a nominal size shaft to
turn easily. The Clip bearing can also rotate within the housing
bore.
