█ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB 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 EPB-1).

█ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB allows the Max static load of 35Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 35Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.0m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 80℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB-3 for such variation.


█ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▉ Friction factor
CSB-EPB friction factor is not sensitive to the operation speed and bearing loading (see Graph EPB-4 and Graph EPB-5). The above features are the most common considerations for the bearing material selection. The friction of CSB-EPB could be maintained at a relatively lower level so that the good wearing features are guaranteed. From the Graph EPB-6, we could see that the friction factor is variable against the changing of shaft roughness. The recommended shaft roughness is Ra0.3~0.5.

▉ Wearing and shaft material
The shaft material is an important media for the bearing wearing but CSB-EPB is suitable for almost all kinds of shaft materials. Graph EPB-7 and Graph EPB-8 show that the wearing feature of CSB-EPB is excellent when the shaft material are hardened chrome steel or hardened steel or hardened Aluminum.


█ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB is good at chemical resistance against mild base, weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
█ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB plastic bearings is 0.3% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 1.2% in water. These values are so low that design changes due to absorption are only necessary in extreme applications.

█ UV resistance
CSB-EPB can maintain its color unchanged when it is exposed into the UV ray. The hardness, Compressive strength and wear resistance of the material is also stable under such condition.
