STUDY OF WEAR RESISTANCE OF REINFORCED POLYAMIDE COMPOSITES FOR METAL-POLYMER GEAR DRIVES

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2018, Vol 279, Issue 3

Abstract

An experimental study of the wear resistance of two dispersion-filled composite materials based on polyamide used in metal-polymer gear drives with a 30% volume content of short glass or carbon fibres was performed according to the technique proposed by the authors. As a result of tribotests in the “pin-disk” scheme, the mass wear of these composites was determined under dry friction conditions for steel 45 at room temperature in the range of contact pressures of 10–40 MPa, as well as the kinetics of the coefficient of sliding friction and the contact temperature of the tribosystem elements. It was established that polyamide strengthened by carbon fibres has almost four times higher wear resistance in comparison with a polyamide filled with glass fibres. The wear resistance characteristics that are the basic parameters of the tribokinetic wear model are calculated, using the durability of the straight spur metal-polymer gear drive on the basis of the original calculation method. It was established that gear drive durability with a pinion or a wheel reinforced with carbon fibres is more than eight times the durability of gear drive with gear wheels from polyamide filled with glass fibres. The gear drive durability with the steel pinion and the composite gear wheel increases in proportion to the gear ratio as compared to the gear drive with the composite pinion and the steel wheel. The change in the maximum contact pressures in the mesh interval was calculated.<br/><br/>
