Measurement of unused microbearing grooved surfaces for computer ventilator
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2011, Vol 237, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents a measurement analysis of two, new, non-damaged cooperating micro-bearing surfaces occurring in computer ventilator Kama Flow SP0825FDB12H 0.080 m. Such surfaces are radically different in comparison with surfaces that are found in HDD microbearings. Developed measurements concern Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Mira TESCAN INCA, and illustrate 350 images of journal and sleeve work surfaces using the Microscopy system. This paper also concerns roughness tests with 3D images of journal and sleeve work surfaces and profiles of their cross sections utilising Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), NT-206, Microtestmachines Ltd, Belarus. Vickers micro-hardness value studies for journal and sleeve surface are performed too. Research studies of the sleeve surface included measurements for macro-profile surfaces with herringbone grooves and AFM micro-profiles of small grooves. The measurements are performed for a new undamaged journal and sleeve surface utilising the Atomic Force Microscope and SEM & Micro-X-Ray analysis. Such analysis concern results referring to the bearing material composition with standard deviation of measured values.<br/><br/>
