High Loads
Vesconite bearings carry high loads
Vesconite problem solving index
Vesconite has a high compression strength of 90 MPa (12750 psi). The recommended maximum design load is 30 MPa (4250 psi) for semi-static and oscillating applications.
Vesconite keeps its strength even when wet.
Many synthetic materials lose compression strength in humid or moist environments. For example nylons typically lose up to 60% of their strength in humid conditions or when immersed.
