The Lubricating Character of Greases Using a New Test Method.

Abstract

A slow-speed high frequency reciprocating test rig was used to investigate the behavior of a lubricated sliding contact when subjected to repeated slow-speed passes within times comparable to the reaction rates of chemically acting lubricant additives. Such conditions are similar to the working environment of a lubircant and tests carried out using this test rig are shown to reveal more information than may be obtained otherwise. The report presents a brief description of the test rig and the results of tests made on a series of ammeline and teflon greases using this new method. The results of tests on a commercial mineral oil are also included. (Author)
