▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB13 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 EPB13-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB13 allows the Max static load of 35Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB13-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 35Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.5m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 90℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB13-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
CSB-EPB13 Bearing friction factor varies only little amount along with the operation speed changing (See Graph EPB13-4). When the operation speed is relatively stable, the friction factor varies a lot while the load is less than 10Mpa (see Graph EPB13-5). At the same time, it does not vary much when the loading is greater than 10Mpa. Rough surface may result into the increasing of friction factor of the CSB-EPB13 material but when the roughness of the surface is greater than Ra0.5, the friction factor will remain relatively stable again. The recommended shaft surface roughness is Ra0.1~Ra0.4 for the CSB-EPB13 material.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Test of the bearing against various shaft materials shows that the material CSB-EPB13 features the best performance where the shaft material is hard chrome steel with loading less than 2Mpa. (See Graph EPB13-7). Therefore, the higher the load is increased, the wear-resistance of the bearing will be better against the stainless steel shaft. Refer to Graph EPB13-7, the material CSB-EPB13 is suitable for rotation operation. Ether to be used under rotation operation or the oscillation operation, it is the best suitable material for the application against hard chrome steel shaft.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB13 is good at chemical resistance against mild base, weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB13 plastic bearings is 0.3% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 1.3% in water. These values are so low that design changes due to absorption are only necessary in extreme applications.

▊ UV resistance
CSB-EPB13 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.
