▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB23 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 EPB23-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB23 allows the Max static load of 60Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB23-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 60Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.0m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 180℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB23-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
CSB-EPB23 Bearing Friction factor is not so sensitive to the operation speed (see Graph EPB23-4). The friction factor is considerably decreased along with the loading increasing and it will be turned to be stable when the loading reaches 20Mpa. Graph EPB23-5 shows the friction factor of the bearing is also not sensitive to the shaft roughness but we still recommend that the roughness of the shaft should be neither too smooth nor too rough. It is recommended to keep the roughness of the shaft to be within the range of Ra0.6 to Ra0.9.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB23-7 shows that the CSB-EPB23 material is not sensitive with different materials under the rotating operation. It is suitable for hard shaft and high speed steel shaft as well as hard chrome steel shaft. Graph EPB23-8 shows that the hard chrome steel shaft is most suitable for using CSB-EPB23 bearing because the wearing speed is not sensitive when the loading is increased. From the Graph EPB23-8, it shows that CSB-EP23 features different performance.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB23 is good at chemical resistance against weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB23 plastic bearings is 0.6% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 1.9% in water. These values are so low that design changes due to absorption are only necessary in extreme applications.

▊ UV resistance
The color of CSB-EPB23 could be dimmed when it is exposed into the UV ray. The material performance stays stable.
