Short cuts and formulae for polymer plain bearings
Surface pressure F = Load [N]

Radial bearing: Thrust bearing: F = Friction force [N]
R
F p = F d1 = Inner diameter of the bearing [mm]

p =
d1 · b1 (d2 - d1 ) · π b1 = Bearing length [mm]

4 d2 = Outer diameter of the bearing [mm]
p = Surface pressure [N/mm ]

Surface Speed v = Surface Speed [m/s]
Rotational movement: n = Revolutions per minute
[ ]
v = n · d1 · π m ß = Angle [°]

60 · 1,000 s f = Frequency in Hertz
K1, K2 = Constant for heat dissipation
Pivoting movement: (K1 = 0.5 K2 = 0.042) [N]
