1 Plastic Design Guide

2 Plastic Types Greene, Tweed offers three standard configurations of plastic bearings; sleeve bearings, flange bearings, and thrust bearings. The sleeve and flange bearings are available in both solid and split variations. Because plastic materials tend to expand as temperature increases and contract as temperature decreases, dimensional changes caused by thermal expansion will affect the performance of plastic bearings. At high temperature, the bearing cross-section may grow to the point of having interference with its fit, thus causing excessive friction and wear. At cryogenic temperature, the bearing will try to shrink, tightening around the shaft and causing increased friction. The gap on the split bearings is designed for ease of bearing installation, and to minimize the undesirable effects of thermal expansion and contraction. Split bearings are therefore recommended for all rod and piston applications other than instances where the bearing must be press-fitted for retention. For more than 0 years, Greene, Tweed & Co. has specialized in the design and production of innovative, highperformance seals and plastic components for demanding systems. Headquartered in Kulpsville, PA, some miles northwest of Philadelphia, the company employs more than,00 people throughout its worldwide organization. Manufacturing locations are located in Kulpsville, PA., as well as in Texas, California, Maryland and England. The company s six major business groups serve such diverse markets as aerospace, industrial hydraulics, chemical processing, medical & biotechnology, oil field equipment and semiconductor production.

3 Design Criteria STEP Define Diameter 4 STEP Select Cross-Section STEP Define 4 4 STEP 4 Calculate the Unit Loading, Surface Velocity, and Pressure Velocity performance is affected by many different factors. It is important to keep in mind the following factors when designing a bearing. BEARING LOADING It is important to maintain the lowest possible loading on a bearing. Lower unit loading on the bearing can be accomplished by increasing the bearing length. PTFE based bearings perform best at low load and high velocity. pressure is the amount of load that the bearing has to support for a given bearing area. pressure is calculated as follows: RUNNING VELOCITY surface speed is calculated as follows: For rotary applications V = (D x π x RPM)/ For reciprocating applications V = (LS x C x )/ For Thrust s V = (0.5 x RPM)(0.6R + 0.4R ) Where: P = pressure (psi) F = Total load on the bearing (lbs.) D = Inside Diameter (in.) L = of the bearing (in.) Where: V = Velocity in ft/min. D = Dynamic diameter (inches) LS= of stroke (inches) C = Cycles per minute. R = Radius of the thrust bearing ID R = Radius of the thrust bearing OD BEARING PV LIMITS PV = Pressure (psi) x Velocity (ft/min.) The material PV limits given on page 5 are intended as a guide only. PV limits are affected by variations in temperature, speed, loading, lubrication and surface finish. Exceeding PV limits will result in accelerated wear and premature bearing failure. BEARING MEDIA The PTFE bearings have almost unlimited chemical compatibility. Thermoplastic and composite bearings have wide chemical compatibility, except for use with acids and strong oxidizing agents. BEARING LUBRICATION Plastic bearings are designed to operate maintenance free, thus eliminating the need for periodic lubrication. Lubricated bearings however, will exhibit a lower coefficient of friction and longer service life. Therefore, the application of grease or lubricant at the time of installation is recommended whenever possible. METAL SURFACE HARDNESS Some of the fillers in PTFE and the reinforcements in the composites are abrasive to soft metals. Therefore, hardened running surfaces are recommended. Moreover, surface hardness of >Rc 40 is further recommended. METAL SURFACE FINISH A good surface finish on the dynamic surfaces will reduce the friction and the wear rate on bearings. It is recommended to maintain 8- Ra surface finish for best bearing performance. P= F Dx L

6 Finish & Hardness Guidelines SURFACE FINISH Surface finish affects friction and bearing wear rate. For best bearing performance, an 8-Ra surface finish is recommended on the dynamic surface. SURFACE HARDNESS Some of the fillers and reinforcements in the bearing materials may be abrasive to the mating dynamic surfaces. A hardened dynamic surface area to Rc-40 min. is recommended.
