▊ PV value

The max PV value of the CSB-EPB3 plastic bearings is 0.45N/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 EPB3-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature

CSB-EPB3 allows the Max static load of 80Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB3-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 80Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.0m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 130℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB3-3 for such variation.

▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material

▊ Friction factor

The friction factor of the sliding bearings is relative to the bearing load, operation speed and the roughness of the shaft material.CSB-EPB3 Bearing Friction factor decreased along with the increasing of the loading (See Graph EPB3-5) and increased along with the increasing of the operation speed(See Graph EPB3-4). The above feature induces the CSB-EPB3 material is applicable for the high load and low speed operation while too smooth and too rough surface may result into the increasing of friction factor. The recommended surface roughness of CSB-EPB3 is Ra0.5~Ra0.8 (See Graph EPB3-6).

▊ Wearing and shaft material

Test of the bearing against various shaft materials shows that the material CSB-EPB3 features the best performance where the shaft material is carbon steel and hard chrome steel under low loading. (See Graph EPB3-7 and Graph EPB3-8). Therefore, the higher the load is, the more critical the hardness of the shaft will have to be. The softer shaft will be worn off sooner and as a result, the bearing wearing will be increased. But when the loading is increased over 2Mpa, the wearing of the bearing will be better along with the increasing of the shaft hardness.

Refer to Graph EPB3-7 It shows that the material CSB-EPB3 is better under the oscillation operation comparing with the rotation operation. Under the same condition, the wearing feature of the oscillation operation is much better than that of the rotation operation. This feature is sharply improved under higher loading.

▊ Chemical resistance

CSB-EPB3 is good at chemical resistance against weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.

▊ Water absorption

The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB3 plastic plain bearings is 0.7% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 4.0% in water. The application environment has to be considered due to the high water absorbtion properties.

▊ UV resistance

CSB-EPB3 can maintain its color unchanged when it is exposed into the UV ray. The material performance stays stable.

CSB® Bearing Material Chemical Resistance

Please select bearing material and medium...

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.

CSB-EPB® Plain bearings finder V2.1

▊CSB-EPB® Plastic Bearings Finder[V2.1] is based on the analysis and calculation of a large number of test data in CSB® laboratory. You can calculations material data by entering parameters such as bearing load, speed, and temperature, and finally output material adaptation data.
▊Because the system calculate and analyze based on lab data, it can't exactly meet the ractual use requirements absolutly. The system data verification has certain limitations; CSB® recommends that the bearing must be tested again to verify whether it meets the actual use requirements.
▊CSB-EPB® Plastic Bearings Finder output data information is only for design reference, and can not be used as the final standard for determining the bearing material conformity, If you have any questions, please contact CSB® sales engineers.
