▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB3G plastic bearings is 0.3N/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 EPB3G-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB3G allows the Max static load of 75Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB3G-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 75Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 0.8m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 100℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB3G-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
Graph EPB3G-4 and Graph EPB3G-5 show that the friction factor of CSB-EPB3G is variable along with the changing of the operation speed and bearing loading especially when the bearing loading is within 20Mpa. In the mean while the Graph EPB3G-6 shows that the friction factor of CSB-EPB3G is also affected by the shaft surface roughness. Too rough shaft surface or too fine shaft surface will increase the wearing and friction factor. The recommended shaft surface roughness is Ra0.1~0.3.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB3G-7 and Graph EPB3G-8 show that the wearing of CSB-EPB3G is similar either against the normal shaft or hardened shaft. The most suitable shaft materials for CSB-EPB3G are hardened steel and hardened chrome steel. Graph EPB3G-7 shows that the wearing feature is better in oscillation operation than in rotation operation.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB3G is good at chemical resistance against weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB3G plastic plain bearings is 1.3% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 5.5% in water. The application environment has to be considered due to the high water absorbtion properties.

▊ UV resistance
CSB-EPB3G can maintain its color unchanged when it is exposed into the UV ray. The material performance stays stable.
