▊ PV value

The max PV value of the CSB-EPB4 plastic bearings is 1.35N/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 EPB4-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature

CSB-EPB4 allows the Max static load of 90Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB4-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 90Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.0m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 200℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB4-3 for such variation.

▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material

▊ Friction factor

Friction factor will be slightly decreased along with the speed increasing under certain loading of the rotation operation (see Graph EPB4-4) and it will be slightly decreased along with the loading increasing under certain speed of the rotation operation especially when the loading is less than 30Mpa. Graph EPB4-5 tells that the friction of the CSB-EPB4 is not changed at all when the shaft roughness is between Ra0.1 to Ra0.4 and will be considerably increased when the shaft roughness is over Ra0.4. So the recommended shaft roughness is Ra0.1-Ra0.4.

▊ Wearing and shaft material

Graph EPB4-7 shows that CSB-EPB4 is suitable for most of the shaft materials under low loading rotation operation and it is good for hardened carbon steel shaft under high loading rotation operation (see Graph EPB4- 8). CSB-EPB4 is suitable for stainless steel shaft under oscillation operation and good for hot rolled carbon steel and hardened carbon steel shaft under rotation operation.

▊ Chemical resistance

The Chemical Resistance of CSB-EPB4 is fairly good against most of Acid and Alkalis.

▊ Water absorption

The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB4 plastic plain bearings is 0.1% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 0.3% in water . These values are very low, CSB-EPB4 plastic palin bearings is very well suited for used in wet applications.

▊ UV resistance

Disintegration could be possible for the material CSB-EPB4 after long period of exposing under the UV ray and therefore the compressive strength 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.
