▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB26 plastic bearings is 0.5N/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 EPB26-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB26 allows the Max static load of 55Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB26-1, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 55Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 0.9m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 200℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB26-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
Graph EPB26-4 shows the friction factor of CSB-EPB26 is not obviously effected by the operation speed when the loading is stable and Graph EPB26-5 shows it will be decreasing along with the loading is increased from 0 to 45 Mpa when the operation speed is unchanged. The friction factor of CSB-EPB26 is increased along with the increasing of the shaft roughness. The recommended shaft roughness is Ra0.1 to Ra0.6.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB26-7 and Graph EPB26-8 tells that the CSB-EPB26 is very good for Hardened shaft and soft shaft and it features excellent both on hardened steel shaft and stainless steel shaft but the hardened aluminum shaft is not good for CSB-EPB26 bearings. The wear of CSB-EPB26 is better on rotation operation than on oscillation operation.


▊ Chemical resistance
The Chemical Resistance of CSB-EPB26 is fairly good against most of Acid and Alkalis.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB26 plastic plain bearings is 0.1% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 0.2% in water . These values are very low, CSB-EPB26 plastic palin bearings is very well suited for used in wet applications.

▊ UV resistance
Disintegration could be possible for the material CSB-EPB26 after long period of exposing under the UV ray and therefore the compressive strength will be reduced.
