PV Factor
IntroductionSelection Guide Engineering DataBrochure
For plain, dry-running
bearings, it is often helpful to reference a pressure-velocity (PV)
factor as a guide in determining bearing capability. It should be understood
that this factor is actually a variable which reflects the point where
surface temperatures are at a maximum, but are still stable. The maximum
PV established for FIBERGLIDE is:
PV continuous-60,000
PV intermittent-150,000
