Investigation of hydrodynamic parameters of sliding bearing with inverse friction pair

Abstract

2-s2.0-84905860821 - ScopusInvestigation of some hydrodynamic parameters of metal/polymer (Phenilone F-S2) inverse friction pair (IFP) is performed: shaft location co-ordinates, thinnest oil layer, polymeric layer deformations, highest hydrodynamic pressure, friction coefficient. The received experimental values were compared to the theoretical data according to the theoretical formulas. The research results and calculations show that presented methodology could be used for calculation of shaft coordinates for lubricated metal-polymeric sliding bearing with inverse friction pair. When the main parameters of hydrodynamic wedge are the same, the inverse friction pairs can operate under hydrodynamic lubrication at 30% higher loading, comparing to base friction pair. Experimental data show that the formula for calculation of polymeric layer deformation and hydrodynamic pressure should be improved taking into account particular bearing’s length and varying of pressure along the bearing axisVytauto Didžiojo universitetasŽemės ūkio akademij
