(October 18, 2011 - Rockford, IL) Plain bearings must be evaluated for suitability in an application based on their “PV” rating. Follow these 3 easy steps to calculate the potential performance of a plain bearing. 3 Steps to Calculate “PV” for a Plain Bearing In order for a plain bearing (sliding bearing) to be suitable for use without lubrication in an application, the following 3 criteria must be met. Follow these steps to calculate each of these parameters: Step #1 - Calculate “P” P = Maximum pressure or load in psi (kgf/cm2) Pressure is over the projected area of load: Step #2 - Calculate “V” V = Maximum velocity or surface speed in sfm (m/min) Linear velocity = total distance traveled in one minute Rotational velocity = Step #3 - Calculate “PV” PV = P x V or the maximum pressure velocity value NOTE: All 3 parameters must be met in an application for a bearing to perform properly. The standard Simplicty® linear bearings utilizing the FrelonGOLD® bearing material has a maximum PV of 20,000.
