摘要

This paper presents two independent ways to directly measure the change in axial deflection of a bearing that is proportional to the magnitude of the total elastohydrodynamic (EHD) film developed. The first uses multiple capacitance displacement gages as a direct measurement of axial displacement and the second method uses the change in operating preload force to calculate the axial change in the test fixture and bearing stack. Convergence of the results from two independent techniques adds confidence to the experimental process. Either method can provide accurate EHD film thickness over extended time for a complete bearing under varying load, speed and lubrication conditions. Additionally, the methods are equally applicable to non-metallic materials, such as Si_3N_4 balls, which preclude the use of other techniques. The method has some advantages to the practicing engineer over the classical ball on a flat quartz plate because the full range of bearing design parameters and kinematic interactions are operating.rnThe EHD film thicknesses of two oils and one grease were measured in an operating 304 sized angular contact bearing for up to 600 hours of running time at 6000 rpm. EHD film thickness was determined by simultaneously measuring the resultant displacement and axial force change of the outer rings due to collapse of the EHD film when the bearing pair was brought from full speed to rest. Because each measurement of axial displacement was completed within 2 seconds, the results are not affected by a contribution due to thermal expansion. We compared a common synthetic hydrocarbon base oil (Pennzane) with a common mineral oil (Coray). We found the synthetic oil film thickness to be approximately one half that of the mineral oil. We also compared film thickness with both large and small amounts of grease. We found that the large grease amount produced a prolonged run-in transient film that was thicker than the base oil steady state film. However, with a smaller amount of grease, the thickness fell to a value that was comparable to the base oil. Initial assessment indicates that the degree of lubricant starvation is greater than can be accounted for with conventional EHD theory.
