▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB2 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 EPB2-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB2 allows the Max static load of 50Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB2-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 50Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.0m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 100℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB2-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
Similar with most of the plastic bearings, the friction factor of CSB-EPB2 is increased along with the operation speed when the loading is stable (see Graph EPB2-4) and is decreased along with the loading increasing when the operation speed is stable (see Graph EPB2-5). From Graph EPB2-6, it shows the friction factor of CSB-EPB2 is variable against different shaft surface roughness. The recommended shaft surface roughness is Ra0.3~0.6.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB2-8 shows that CSB-EPB2 is rather suitable for hardened steel shaft and hardened chrome steel shaft under lower loading andGraph EPB2-7 shows that CSB-EPB2 wearing feature is better for oscillation operation than of rotation operation.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB2 is good at chemical resistance against weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB2 plastic plain bearings is 0.2% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 0.4% in water . These values are very low, CSB-EPB2 plastic plain bearings are very well suited for used in wet applications.

▊ UV resistance
Disintegration could be possible for the material CSB-EPB2 after long period of exposing under the UV ray and therefore the performance of the material will be reduced.
