CCCCCC12.Construction and materialselection of a radial slide bearingConstructionPreface12.1. Calculation by means ofelectronic data-processingBy means of electronic data-processing we are able toconsider exactly the occuring stress on a slide bearingand the changing parameters on slide bearing operationsuch as temperature, strength, bearing clearance, frictionand wear. With regard to the finite element method veryreliable load-carrying capacity calculations can beeffected. The aim of this calculation is to ascertain anoptimum material selection on the given conditions ofstress with a final estimation of temperature and workinglife. Please contact our application research departmentfor an exact calculation of construction, load-carryingcapacity and working life.In order to guarantee a quick and exact calculation weask you to complete the questionnaire enclosed and tosend it back to us by fax.12.2. Calculation by the constructeurIn the following we present you a calculation algorithm,by means of which the constructor can quickly and easilyeffect a rough calculation of a radial slide bearing. Theaim of this mathematical equation is to select theoptimum material and to check the general suitability.In order to effect a quick calculation we ask you to usethe mathematical model shown in the diagrams 1 to 3.This model has also been applied to the mathematicalexample given in chapter 13.ContentsMaterialoverviewIndex Slide bearings Slide bearings Conditions ofTribologyMathematical Design(with collar) (cylindrical) installationexample guidelinesWolf Kunststoff-Gleitlager GmbH • Heisenbergstr. 63 - 65 • 50169 Kerpen-Türnich • Tel. 02237/9749-0 • Fax. 02237/9749-2028
