Composite sliding bushing

[liuco]

Hello everybody!
I'm new here and I would like some help if it is possible.
I want to study the wear of a composite sliding bushing and I need to know the value of some parameters. The material is a composite made by:
- a phenol resin matrix
- woven material of thermoplastic polyester (PET)
- autolubricated by particles of PTFE

and the counter surface the next steel: St 52-3

The paremeters I don't know are the PV limit,the maximum velocity and the maximum contact pressure.

Any data, altough it's not the exact one because it's another material, or any website to search it would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a good palce to start.

Thanks for the answer, it has been very useful. One of its materials is very similar to mine and the properties can be found in its datasheet.

Thanks for the information but I still have a problem and it's that I can't find a similar enough material to mine. The problem is that I don't know the PV limit of mine and if I find a material with similar properties, I can use its PV limit for mine, but I havent' succeed by the moment.

My material is this one:

It is in Dutich but it's pretty understandable. If you know or find a material with similar properties and with a PV limit that I can use, please, notify me.

Thanks a lot in advance.
