Effect of Lubricant Contaminants on Wear Rates of Lubricated Components.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a study on the effect of particulate contamination upon the wear rates of oil-wetted components normally used in lubrication systems. The components primarily considered were rolling-element bearings, journal bearings, gears, and reciprocating seals. Particulate contaminant parameters are discussed. Component testing methods and systems are presented for each critical wear component category. (Author)
