A Study of the Influence of Lubricants on High Speed Rolling-Contact Bearing Performance. Part VII. Research on Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication on High-Speed Rolling-Contacts.

摘要

The thickness of the lubricating film between a pair of rolling-contact disks was measured for a variety of loads,speeds,temperatures and lubricant types,by using an X-ray technique. An empirical equation was derived from the film-thickness data. Preliminary pressure data was obtained for a variety of bearing loadings up to 300,000-psi maximum contact pressure.
