PBC LINEAR ® GLIDING SURFACE TECHNOLOGY Mini Rail The numbers below are for rails in a static condition. Refer to the calculations below to establish dynamic parameters. SIZE BEARING MATERIAL LOAD/MOMENT CONVERSION PV = The performance measurement of plain bearings. V = velocity (speed) in sfm (m/min.) PV Example: Load = 85 psi Speed = 180 ft./min. PV = 85 x 180 = 15,300 PV Note: All three parameters must be met by an application for the bearing to perform properly. Note: FrelonGOLD ® bearing material coefficient of friction is 0.125. CANTILEVERED LOADS Binding of the carriage will occur if...
