Type of lubrication

The goal of this research project is to develop an improved calculation test method, based on a comprehensive test program, to determine the friction moment of rolling bearings with line contact, depending on different speeds, oil temperatures, and thus lubricant viscosities, various lubricant types, rib geometries, and sizes. Cylindrical, needle, spherical, and tapered roller bearings have been tested. Oil bath lubrication with varying oil levels is used as the lubrication type; however, reservoir lubrication, and therefore a controlled inlet and outlet of the oil with different oil levels, will be attempted in random experiments.
