I am trying to determine the cause of a wear issue on our machine. We have a 440c idler bar that rests in a slotted block made of delrin or UHMW conductive Polyethylene holder. The shaft rotates at ~1500 rpm. I am getting wear on the shaft that produces brown dust. The shaft is 8mm and the...
Thanks juergenwt. This will be used as a stop pin for a small device with low torque applied, so will need a good press fit. Thanks for the tip! And, thanks to all of you for the input.
I appreciate all the input! We have radial loads on both sides of the shaft...which I believe will not allow for relative motion of the shaft in the bearing. I personally think the loctiting the shafts is extreme overkill, but I have been unable to convince our operations manager. Hopefully your...
