Vibration analysis of angular contact ball bearing operated with copper oxide nanoparticles mixed ISO VG 68 lubricating oil
Journal Title: Carbon - Science and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of CuO nanoparticles on lubricating oil and vibration reduction in angular contact ball bearing. CuO nanoparticles are synthesized by using chemical method and characteristic studies done in XRD and TEM. CuO nanoparticles size achieved in the range 26 - 30 nm. The nanoparticles concentration of 0.2 wt. % added into the lubricant (ISO VG 68). The test rig setup consists of angular contact ball bearing operated by AC motor with speed controller. The bearing (New and outer defect) vibrations measured using base oil and CuO mixed oil.
