Stainless Steel Shaft Protectors

Boston Gears stainless steel shaft protectors with locking screws are standard on bearings
ending with US or NS. These flanged collars lock to standard shafting and provide a permanently smooth bearing surface. In addition, shaft protectors offer protection from expensive shaft wear which sometimes occurs with journal bearings. Protectors also eliminate
the need for shaft collars, and increase load capacity by extending bearing surface area.

How to Measure Operating PV,
The Load carrying capability of plastic bearings can be expressed as a pressure-velocity (PV) factor
P = Expressed as pounds per square inch on the projected bearing area.
V = The velocity in feet per minute on the shaft surface.
PV is then obtained by multiplying P x V as shown
V (FPM) = .262 x (Shaft Diameter) x (Shaft RPM)
P (PSI) =

Bearing Load
(Bearing Diameter) x (Bearing Length)

Shaft Hardness
Shaft hardness is a major factor in the operation of plastic bearings. Shapes and bearings will last longer as the
degree of hardness increases. Shaft finish of 16 RMS is recommended for most applications.

Internal Lubrication Strip

The internal lubrication strip provides lubricity which

doubles the PV value when tested against non-lubricated
UHMW or nylon bearings. The internal lubrication strip
emits lubrication at the point of friction. You can easily
see droplets of our oil located inside the bore. The oil is
FDA/USDA approved.
