The excessive wear of a journal shaft can be caused by many factors, for example, working conditions (e.g., temperaturę, slip speed, the type of lubricant), pressure, the type of material used on the bearings and shafts and their roughness, as well as contamination remaining in the system. This paper presents the roughness profiles co-operating with a rubber (NBR) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bushes. The conditions of cooperation...

This paper reports on a study of the influence of solid particle contamination on the wear process in water-lubricated slide bearings (steel-acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and steel- polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)). To compare the wear of the shaft journal and bushes (NBR and PTFE) when lubricated with fresh water and contaminated water, an experiment was carried out to identify key factors that influence the state of wear...

Water lubricated bearings have been in industrial use for well over a century. During the last decade their traditional range has been expanded with new, modern products. Despite that fact, certain solutions continue to employ the standard rubber bearing with lubricating grooves located along entire bush circumference. The work presents experimental research conducted on comparable sliding bearings with lubrication grooves along...

W artykule przedstawiono wybrane wyniki badań nad wytrzymałością zmęczeniową warstw ślizgowych w panwiach łozysk poprzecznych, prowadzonych w laboratorium tribologicznym Katedry Konstrukcji i Eksploatacji Maszyn Politechniki Gdańskiej. Opisano stanowiska badawcze i metodykę planowania eksperymentów oraz procedurę opracowywania wyników testów zmęczeniowych. Przedstawiono zamierzenia badawcze w zakresie przedmiotowych badań zmęczeniowych.
