TRIBOLOGICAL MACHINE FOR WEAR TESTS IN AXIAL THRUST MULTIPLE BEARING.

摘要

The present invention relates to the tribological machine for wear tests in multiple thrust bearing, which comprises a load transmitting base system, a charging application system, an axial thrust bearing clamping system, a structural support system, and a drive mechanism system. The tribological machine allows developing tribological investigations on the dimensions of the loading discs, the types of materials to be used, their thermal or surface treatments, the variation in the quantity of the number of loading discs, and the types of lubricants applied, thereby establishing the optimal design conditions.
