Mechanical Properties7.1 The manufacturer and purchaser shall agree on thenumber of sample bearings to be taken at random from each lotfor quantitative determination of mechanical properties bydestructive tests.7.2 Radial Crus

18、hing StrengthRadial crushing strength inpsi or Mpa is the mechanical property by which the strength ofoil-impregnated P/M bearing material is characterized andevaluated. It is determined by breaking plain, thin-walledbearings or hollow cylindrical test specimens under diametricalloading, following t

19、he procedure described in Test MethodB 939, and calculating the radial crushing strength accordingthe material strength formula contained herein.7.2.1 Plain sleeve bearings and thrust bearings are tested inthe oil-impregnated condition. For acceptance, the radial crush-ing strength, determined on th

20、e test bearings, shall not be lessthan the minimum strength specification value listed in Table 5for the grade and type of bearing material.7.2.2 Flanged oil-impregnated bearings shall be tested bycutting off the flange and crushing the body as a plain sleevebearing. For acceptance, the radial crush

21、ing strength so deter-mined shall meet the minimum material strength requirementsprescribed in Table 5. The testing procedure and materialstrength requirements of the flange shall be a matter ofagreement between manufacturer and purchaser.7.2.3 To evaluate spherical bearings or those of otherconfigu

22、ration, a number of sample parts from the lot shall firstbe machined to a right circular cylinder, measured, and thencrushed to determine the radial crushing strength of theoil-impregnated bearing material. This value shall not be lessthan the minimum radial crushing strength specified in Table 5for

23、 the grade and type of the material in the spherical bearing.7.3 Bearing Breaking LoadIf agreed to by the manufac-turer and the purchaser, an acceptance specification for theminimum bearing breaking load, Pmin, in lbf or N, may beestablished for any specific standard oil-impregnated bearing.This sim

24、plifies acceptance testing because the decision is nowbased solely upon reading the output of the testing machinewithout a need for further calculations. This acceptance pro-cedure can be very useful when evaluating multiple or repeatshipments of the same bearing.7.3.1 The minimum breaking load, Pmi
