▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB2D plastic bearings is 0.25N/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 EPB2D-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB2D allows the Max static load of 30Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB2D-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 30Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.2m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 80℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB2D-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
Graph EPB2D-4 shows that the friction factor of CSB-EPB2D is initially increased along with the operation speed increasing when the loading is stable but when the speed reaches over 0.25m/s, it is decreased along with the operation speed increasing. Graph EPB2D-5 shows that the friction factor of CSB-EPB2D is decreasing along with the loading increasing when the operation speed is stable. Graph EPB2D-6 shows the friction factor of CSB-EPB2D is sensitive to the shaft roughness. The best shaft roughness for this material is Ra0.3~0.6.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB2D-7 and Graph EPB2D-8 shows that the hardened chrome steel shaft is good for CSB-EPB2D bearings under lower loading and stainless steel shaft is better when the loading is over 1.0Mpa. Hardened steel shaft is recommended in rotation operation but hardened chrome steel shaft is recommended in oscillation operation.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB2D is good at chemical resistance against mild base, weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB2D plastic bearings is 0.3% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 1.2% 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-EPB2D will become lighter when it is exposed into the UV ray. The hardness, Compressive strength and wear resistance of the material is also stable under such condition.
