A NEW TEST METHOD AND TESTING DEVICE FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE TRIBOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF LUBRICANT PROPERTIES
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2015, Vol 264, Issue 6
Abstract
The paper presents a testing device for the tribological investigation of the properties of greases designated to work under the conditions of elevated temperatures and low loads. The device was developed in the framework of the Strategic Programme financed by EU, Task II.2.2. The tribotester uses a commercial ball bearing as a test friction joint. In the paper, the mechanical construction and the control and measurement systems are discussed. The authors present the conclusions from conducted verification tests, which led to the development of the technical documentation of the device prototype. The test procedure is also presented.
