An Experimental Procedure to Test Sputtered Gold as a Solid Film Gear Tooth Lubricant.
Abstract
The design, construction, and instrumentation of a solid film lubricant tester are discussed. The testing phase and evaluation of test data are mentioned. The device was constructed to test sputtered gold as a gear tooth lubricant for low vacuum operation. The unit is small and self-sustained for operation entirely within the vacuum chamber with only external electrical leads. Methods of measuring gear tooth frictional forces are discussed. A computer program is used to check the results of classical gear tooth strength theory. (Author)
