Bearing Load Calculations for CONNEX Spring Bushings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We recommend that the bearing load be calculated by the specific surface pressure. The projected bearing surface is measured as illustrated. The dynamic and static pressures as indicated are valid only if the d/l ratio is between 0.6 and 1.2. For example, if d is 1 1/2 and l is 2 the d/l ratio is 0.75. Where longer bushings and shafts are used, consideration must be given to deflection and edge pressure. Under these conditions, the load values would be lower.

Standard Values for the Specific Bearing Load of CONNEX Bushings

The values stated require that the tolerance of shaft or pivot item, hardness and correct diameter/length ratio meet the standard requirements.

Surface Protection

CONNEX Spring Bushings, manufactured from AISI 6150, are processed in a vibratory finisher after heat treatment to remove any burrs resulting from machining. They are then dipped into a proprietary rust preventative for surface protection.

CONNEX® External Spring Bushings

CONNEX External Spring Bushings are used on stationary or slowly rotating shafts and pins which are subject to wear. The Spring Bushing, in such applications, carries the wear, being the easily replaceable part. This avoids replacement of the entire shaft. Designs using an External Spring Bushing on the shaft and an Internal Spring Bushing as the bearing are used in some applications. For External Spring Bushings, the overlapping toothed slot offers and additional advantage.
