Suggestions on non-standard bearing application
Suggestions on non-standard bearing application
(OP)
I have rod that must actuate a rotating lever. The interface between the rod and lever must have rolling/sliding contact.
I currently have a clasp and “bearing rod” on the end that interface with the lever.
There will be a limited amount of rotational movement on the “bearing rod”.
Since the assembly is currently designed as low carbon steel, I have been looking at a self-lubricating insert of the “bearing rod”
This insert can not be a full round, probably a 120° window.
15,000 lb max force on the lever.
Low creep
High load
Self-lubricating
I have a PDF file to help explain, where can I upload it?

Good Luck!

Self lubricating.
Low creep.
Consider fiber re-enforced thermosetting resin composite bearing materials. As a general rule they do not creep, and a number have enormous compression strength as well as contain various dry lubricants.
High Load.
If you can, design to reduce pressure on the bearing sliding/rolling interface by increasing the actual contact surface area.
