BOStonE Molded Plastic <strong>Bearings</strong><br />
Boston stocks Cylindrical, Flanged <strong>and</strong> Roll End <strong>Bearings</strong> in five<br />
materials —<br />
1. Nylon (N) exhibits good chemical <strong>and</strong> corrosion resistance.<br />
Excellent abrasion resistance <strong>and</strong> low surface friction provide<br />
long wear without lubrication. These nylon bearings are black.<br />
Good up to 225ºF maximum.<br />
2. Delrin® <strong>and</strong> Celcon® (D) are trademarks for equivalent Acetal<br />
Resins produced by Du Pont <strong>and</strong> Celanese respectively.<br />
Acetals possess excellent moisture resistance characteristics.<br />
These materials are white. Good up to 225ºF maximum.<br />
3. Nylatron® GS (GS) is a trademark for molybdenum disulfide<br />
filled nylon produced by the Polymer Corp. Nylatron® GS<br />
exhibits excellent abrasion resistance. Nylatron® GS is dark<br />
gray in color. Good up to 225ºF maximum.<br />
4. Teflon filled Acetal (AF) — Teflon.® This material has excellent<br />
abrasion <strong>and</strong> corrosion resistance <strong>and</strong> high lubricity against<br />
steel. Good up to 225ºF maximum.<br />
5. Teflon filled Nylon (TN) used for Hanger <strong>Bearings</strong> only, is light<br />
gray in color.<br />
Roll End <strong>Bearings</strong><br />
These bearings are available in almost every conceivable size<br />
directly from stock — no costly waiting, tooling or set-up<br />
charges.<br />
Sizes are interchangeable with existing wood <strong>and</strong> ball bearings.<br />
Several objectives can be met with Roll End <strong>Bearings</strong> made of<br />
our selected plastic resins.<br />
1. No lubricant required<br />
2. Clean — Neat appearance<br />
3. Non-contamination<br />
4. Resistant to moisture & chemicals<br />
5. Quiet operation<br />
6. Excellent load & wear ratings<br />
Roll End <strong>Bearings</strong> have ribbed construction to allow closer<br />
dimensional control, to help dissipate heat <strong>and</strong> to reduce cost.<br />
These designs help prevent distortion or seizure of bearing bore,<br />
normally caused by high press fits, temperature change <strong>and</strong><br />
moisture absorption.<br />
Size variation is easily accomplished by rebore or remachine<br />
operations, simply state size desired. Bores can be reduced with<br />
bushing inserts. Adaptors are available for hex shafts.<br />
(AF) Roll End <strong>Bearings</strong>, 3" <strong>and</strong> up, are Delrin or Celcon with a<br />
Teflon filled Acetal bushing. This combination provides a low cost<br />
unit with the superior properties of a Teflon filled bearing.<br />
However, one piece Teflon filled Acetal bearings can be offered<br />
upon request.<br />
For bearings not shown — write for prices stating quantity<br />
desired.<br />
Blind Bore <strong>Bearings</strong><br />
Blind Bore <strong>Bearings</strong> are available on special order. Minimum<br />
quantities will apply. They are available for roll end bearing sizes<br />
818 through 2216 <strong>and</strong> 8P40 through 20P40. Depth of blind<br />
bores is 1/8" less than total bearing length. When ordering, add<br />
“B” to Catalog Number.<br />
Selection<br />
A general guide to determination of limiting load <strong>and</strong> velocity<br />
values for sleeve bearings has been established by the use of PV<br />
calculations. PV represents Pressure x Velocity, for example: 100<br />
psi x 20 fpm yields a PV of 2000.<br />
Maximum PV values for BostonE Molded Plastic <strong>Bearings</strong> are:<br />
Nylon (N) — 3,000<br />
Delrin or Celcon (D) — 3,000<br />
Nylatron GS (GS) — 4,000<br />
Teflon filled Acetal (AF) — 8,000<br />
Teflon filled nylon (TN) — 10,000<br />
