▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB12 plastic bearings is 0.55N/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 EPB12-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB12 allows the Max static load of 75Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB12-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 75Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.0m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 135℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB12-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
Graph EPB12-4 shows that the friction factor of CSB-EPB12 is not considerably affected by the operation speed when the loading is stable. At the meantime, Graph EPB12-5 shows that the friction factor of CSB-EPB12 is not considerably affected by the loading when the operation speed is stable. This bearing is the only typical material whose friction factor is not sensitive to the operation speed and loading. Graph EPB12-6 tells that the fiction factor of CSB-EPB12 will not be affected by the shaft roughness when the shaft roughness is better than Ra0.4. The recommended Shaft roughness is Ra0.1~0.4.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB12-7 and Graph EPB12-8 tells that CSB-EPB12 is suitable for both hard chrome steel shaft and hardened steel shaft. Graph EPB12-8 shows that the wearing feature of CSB-EPB12 is better in oscillation operation than in rotation operation. Hardened chrome steel shaft and hardened steel shaft is the better choice under oscillation operation and hardened steel shaft and hardened chrome steel shaft is the better choice under rotation operation.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB12 is good at chemical resistance against weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB12 plastic plain bearings is 0.9% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 4.9% in water. The application environment has to be considered due to the high water absorbtion properties.

▊ UV resistance
CSB-EPB12 can become brittle and lost its impact resistance when it is exposed into UV ray for a certain period of time.
