Is there a simplified formula for hertzian stress and contact area for a pin in a bushing? What makes my problem more complicated is that the loading is not purely radial. I have an offset radial load such that the pin
will theoretically be in point contact on the top of the pin at one end and...
I have an application that pivots no more than 3°, but has a high exposure to dirt and water. The loading is reasonable and almost entirely radial. However, there is some impact loading.
I would normally use a loose fitting hardened steel bushing and grease daily with a lithium based grease...
