Sliding Velocity v
The sliding velocity for bushings and thrust washers results in:
Where | |
---|---|
v | sliding velocity, m/s |
d | bore diameter of bushing, mm |
J | middle diameter of thrust washer, mm (Find dimension J in the product tables: [GLYCODUR® F] or [GLYCODUR® A]) |
f | angular frequency or rotational frequency, min-1 |
ß | half turning angle in degrees (see - Drawing Turning Angle) 90° in case of rotational movement |
– Drawing Turning Angle
A complete oscillation = 4ß: way from point 0 to 4
Sliding velocity factor c2
Increasing sliding velocity will lead to increased heat generation in the sliding surface; the wear rate increases. Therefore, the velocity factor c2 has to be considered when designing the bearing.
