SUMMARY

The calculation of bushing load is straightforward and involves dividing the force supported by the bushing, measured in Newtons (N), by the bushing's area, expressed in square millimeters (mm²). This results in a load value in units of N/mm² or KgF/cm², as indicated in product catalogues. Understanding this calculation is essential for selecting the appropriate bushing for specific applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of force and area calculations
  • Familiarity with units of measurement (N, mm², KgF)
  • Knowledge of bushing applications in mechanical systems
  • Ability to interpret technical specifications from product catalogues
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanical properties of different bushing materials
  • Learn about the impact of load distribution on bushing performance
  • Explore advanced calculations for dynamic loading conditions
  • Investigate software tools for simulating bushing load scenarios
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, design engineers, and anyone involved in selecting or analyzing plain bearings for machinery applications.

I have no idea how to calculate the bushing load which is stated in catalogues in unit N/mm^2 and KgF/cm^2. Anyone knows how?

It's just force/area. Take the force the bushing has to support (Newtons), and divide by the bushing's area in mm^2.
