In order to study the friction performance of grease lubricated sliding bearings of construction machinery under long-term radial heavy load,a bearing testing machine was developed to measure the changes of friction force,friction coefficient and temperature rise of such bearings.The testing machine can not only simulate the operation process of bearings under low speed and heavy load conditions,but also evaluate the operation state of grease during grease lubrication.Through durability tests on bearings designed and produced by three different manufacturers,the friction coefficient between bearings and pin shafts can be accurately obtained,the current lubrication and wear conditions of bearings can be detected,the advantages and disadvantages of bearing performance can be judged,and at the same time,reference can be provided for designers to estimate bearing life and optimize design.
