▊ PV value
The max PV value of the CSB-EPB9 plastic bearings is 0.35N/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 EPB9-1).

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPB9 allows the Max static load of 105Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPB9-2, The actual load capacity of bearing is slightly less than 105Mpa, The bearing load is variable against the speed and temperature, Fast speed (Vmax: 0.8m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 140℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPB9-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
Graph EPB9-4 shows that the friction factor of CSB-EPB9 is much higher than those of other materials because the electronic conductive fiber is embedded into the bearing material. It is induced that the friction performance will be better when the bearing is lubricated. Graph EPB9-5 shows that the friction factory is decreasing along with the loading increasing and Graph EPB9-6 shows that the friction factor is increasing along with the shaft roughness increasing when the shaft roughness is between Ra0.1 to Ra0.5. This effecting will be less when the shaft roughness is between Ra0.5 to Ra1.6.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
Graph EPB9-7 and EPB9-8 shows the different results of the material against different shaft materials. It induces that the bearing material is good for hard chrome steel shaft under low loading operation condition and good for hardened carbon steel shaft under high loading rotation operation.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPB9 is good at chemical resistance against weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPB9 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
When CSB-EPB9 is exposed into the UV ray, the material performance stays stable.
