Design:

Claron PBR bearing rings are designed for use on pistons or rods to align rod and piston and to prevent metal to metal

contact. This bearing is precision machined from a reinforced grade of Phenolic resin. The thermoset properties of this material allows a high load capability even at higher temperatures. All Claron bearing rings are split to facilitate assembly, and to allow the passage of fluid.

See the ‘selection of bearing rings’ at the beginning of this section for further application details.

Operating conditions:

See graph at the beginning of this section for load capacity values.

How to order:

Order using the part number shown followed by a suffix denoting the type of cut required:-

Type                        Suffix

Straight cut              /O

Angle cut                 /R60 (where the number represents the angle required)

Housing:

For surface finish and recommended lead in chamfers refer to the illustration below. For housing dimensions and machining

tolerances refer to the catalogue page of selected seal. Refer to Appendix 4 for value of tolerance symbols.

Fitting:

For the bearing to function correctly, it is important that care be taken in fitting the bearing within its housing. For a detailed checklist, refer to Appendix 3.
