THE STUDY OF SLEEVE BEARINGS IN AIRCRAFT SUPPORT STRUCTURES. THE DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN DATA FOR MIL-HDBK-5 CONCERNING AIRFRAME BEARINGS.

Abstract

The performance of steel shafts oscillating in bearing surfaces of aluminum bronze, Teflon-impregnated metal, Teflon woven fabric, MoS2 coatings, and high-strength steels have been determined experimentally. The parameters studied include bearing load, wear, coefficient of friction, lubricants, and ambient temperature. Two bearing designs were used. One oscillation amplitude and frequency was used. The data of the aluminum bronze bearing evaluations have been rearranged in design-chart forms intended for use by bearing designers. Coefficient of friction values and wear data for various other lubricants and conditions are also presented. (Author)
