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

▊ Load, speed and temperature
CSB-EPBH allows the Max static load of 30Mpa, The max compressive deformation rate under the max load is listed in Graph EPBH-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: 0.8m/s) results into higher temperature (Tmax: 80℃) which decreases the load capacity of the bearing. Please refer to the Graph EPBH-3 for such variation.


▊ Friction factor, wear and shaft material
▊ Friction factor
CSB-EPBH friction factor is not sensitive to the operation speed and bearing loading (see Graph EPBH-4 and Graph EPBH-5). The above features are the most common considerations for the bearing material selection. The friction of CSB-EPBH could be maintained at a relatively lower level so that the good wearing features are guaranteed. From the Graph EPBH-6, we could see that the friction factor is variable against the changing of shaft roughness. The recommended shaft roughness is Ra0.3~0.5.

▊ Wearing and shaft material
The shaft material is an important media for the bearing wearing but CSB-EPBH is suitable for almost all kinds of shaft materials. Graph EPBH-7 and Graph EPBH-8 show that the wearing feature of CSB-EPBH is excellent when the shaft material are hardened chrome steel or hardened steel.


▊ Chemical resistance
CSB-EPBH is good at chemical resistance against mild base, weak acidic medium and various kinds of lubricants.
▊ Water absorption
The moisture absorption of CSB-EPBH 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
CSB-EPBH can maintain its color unchanged when it is exposed into the UV ray. The hardness, Compressive strength and wear resistance of the material is also stable under such condition.
