INFLUENCE OF LUBRICATION ON ENDURANCE OF ROLLING CONTACTS.
Abstract
Conductivity tests were conducted at low and high speeds in order to determine speeds, loads, and viscosity parameters for conditions of no film and essentially complete film lubrication respectively, at the ball-to-ball contacts in a rolling four-ball test configuration. The dynamic two-ball tester, designed to provide X-ray measurements of lubricant film thickness and contact profiles in a two-ball rolling contact, now in its final stage of construction, is described fully in this report. Details of the X-ray mechanism, drive system spindles, fabrication and alignment procedure, the hydraulic system and the electrical control system are given. (Author)
