The Role of Temperature in EHD.
Abstract
A special transducer has been developed so that pressure and temperature measurements can be made (essentially) simultaneously. With this technique, it is possible to locate the contact zone temperatures relative to pressure to evaluate the relationship between heat generation and pressure. Temperature pressure data obtained using a synthetic mineral oil lubricant has been obtained for rolling and rolling-sliding contact in a special disk apparatus. Temperature rises on the order of 10-20C has been detected. Traction analyses indicate, in some instances that this level of temperature rise can explain the nonlinearity seen in traction-slip curves.
