Dimensions

▊ PV value

The max PV value of the CSB-EPB18 plastic bearings is 0.4N/mm²×m/s which determines the load capacity of bearing is inversely proportional to the speed. Please refer to the chart for more detailed information (Graph EPB18-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature

CSB-EPB18 allows the Max static load of 50Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB18-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 50Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.0m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 100℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB18-3 for such variation.

▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material

▊ Friction factor

Graph EPB18-4 shows that as the same as most of the slide bearing materials, the friction factor of CSB-EPB18 is increasing along with the rotation speed under a certain loading while as shown in figure EPB18-5, it is decreased along with the increasing of loading when the operation speed is stable. From figure EPB18-6, it is found that the most suitable shaft roughness is Ra0.2 to Ra0.6. Smoother shaft or rougher shaft may result into friction factor increasing.

▊ Wearing and shaft material

Graph EPB18-7 and EPB18-8 shows the wearing is considerably affected by the shaft materials. Heat-treated steel shaft and carbon steel shaft is good for this bearing material. Graph EPB18-7 tells that CSB-EPB18 is suitable for hardened chrome steel and hardened steel shaft in rotation operation or oscillation operation.

▊ Chemical resistance

CSB-EPB18 is good at chemical resistance against weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.

▊ Water absorption

The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB18 plastic plain bearings is 0.3% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 0.5% in water . These values are very low, CSB-EPB18 plastic palin bearings is very well suited for used in wet applications.

▊ UV resistance

Disintegration could be possible for the material CSB-EPB18 after long period of exposing under the UV ray and therefore the performance of the material will be reduced.

▊CSB® bearing material chemical resistance data is a comparison test result of the CSB chemistry laboratory using laboratory specimens or similar chemicals at room temperature 23 ℃, without considering the impact of other temperatures and chemical medium mixtures on the chemical resistance of CSB® bearing materials ; Therefore, this data can only act as a reference. CSB® recommends that the chemical resistance of actual parts should be tested under application conditions and verify the suitability of the bearings.
