▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB7 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 EPB7-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB7 allows the Max static load of 60Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB7-2, 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: 90℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB7-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
CSB-EPB7 Bearing Friction factor is not so sensitive to the operation speed (see Graph EPB7-4). 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 EPB7-5 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 Ra0.3 to Ra0.6.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB7-7 shows that the CSB-EPB7 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 EPB7-8 shows that the hard chrome steel shaft is most suitable for using CSB-EPB7 bearing because the wearing speed is not sensitive when the loading is increased. From the Graph EPB7-8, it shows that CSB-EP7 features different performance.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB7 is good at chemical resistance against weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB7 plastic plain bearings is 1.3% in standard atmosphere. The max. water absorption is 6.5% in water. The application environment has to be considered due to the high water absorbtion properties.

▊ UV resistance
The color of CSB-EPB7 could be dimmed when it is exposed into the UV ray. The material performance stays stable.
