Surface pressure
The load on a plain bearing is expressed by the surface pressure (p) on MPa (corresponds to N/mm
2 With it the radial load is distributed over the projected surface of the bearing.
Radial bearing: p = F/d1 * b1
For axial bearings the load arises accordingly.
Axial bearing: p = F/(d2
2 - d1
2) * π/4
Present is
F | Load in N |
d1 | Inner diameter of the bearing in mm |
b1 | Bearing length in mm |
d2 | Outer diameter of the bearing in mm |
