Wear with different contact surfaces
The material, hardness, and roughness of the contact surface all have a decisive influence on the wear behavior, and thus the service life, of the friction bearing.

Maximum recommended load as a function of temperature
Elringplast friction bearings can generally be used in a temperature range from -100°C to +250°C. The compressive strength decreases with increasing temperature.

Maximum recommended load as a function of temperature
Friction coefficient as a function of the sliding speed
The friction coefficient varies, depending on the sliding pair and application parameters. The lower the friction coefficient, the less heat development by the friction bearing. This has a positive effect on wear behavior.
