▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB5Z plastic bearings is 1.0N/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 EPB5Z-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB5Z allows the Max static load of 100Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB5Z-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 100Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 1.5m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 250℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB5Z-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
Graph EPB5Z-4 shows that the friction factor of CSB-EPB5Z is initially increased along with the operation speed increasing when the loading is stable but when the speed reaches over 0.2m/s, it is decreased along with the operation speed increasing. Graph EPB5Z-5 shows that the friction factor of CSB-EPB5Z is decreasing along with the loading increasing when the operation speed is stable. The best shaft roughness for this material is Ra0.4~0.7.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB5Z-7 and Graph EPB5Z-8 shows that the wearing speed of CSB-EPB5Z is similar with most of the other materials under lower loading but it will be much better when the loading is higher. It also tells that the hardened steel shaft is good for CSB-EPB5Z bearings.Graph EPB5Z-7 shows the wearing rate is less in oscillation operation than in rotation operation especially when the loading is over 20Mpa. Heat-treated steel shaft is recommended in rotation operation and stainless steel and hardened chrome steel shaft is recommended in oscillation operation.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB5Z is good at chemical resistance against mild base, weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB5Z plastic bearings is 0.3% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 1.1% in water. These values are so low that design changes due to absorption are only necessary in extreme applications.

▊ UV resistance
The material performance of CSB-EP5Z will be lowered if it is exposed in the UV ray for long period.
