摘要

In this extended abstract, results from tests on a novel, thin-film, Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearing are presented. The bearings comprise a thin film of the polymer stretched over a spherical brass substrate. As of writing, two bearing geometries with substrate radii of 2.38 and 6.35 mm have been tested in air to determine both smoothness/repeatability of motion at traverse speeds of around 0.01 to 1.00 mm·s~(-1) and durability under loads ranging from around 2.2 to 28.0 N at speeds of up to 12.0 mm·s~(-1). Smoothness of motion of the 2.38 mm radius bearing was assessed by using it as the counterface for traversing a carriage along an optically polished Zerodur~® datum. A stylus-based measuring system was then used to profile a smooth, flat glass specimen and the repeatability of specific surface features measured with successive traces being used as a measure of both bearing noise and repeatability. While it is recognized that there are numerous other sources contributing to the measured signal, we believe this does represent a conservative estimate of the uncertainty of this bearing system. With this in mind it was apparent that features of amplitude less than 10 nm could be repeatedly measured. Durability was assessed using a custom built pin-on-disc testing apparatus. Wear of thin films is a particularly difficult measurement and we have used the criteria of breakthrough of the film as a measure of the durability. While the 2.38 mm bearing was observed to fail in one experiment, the larger radius bearing was observed to survive after sliding distances of over 2 km at loads and speeds of 28.0 N and 4.2 mm·s~(-1), respectively. This bearing represents a variant on the thin-film PTFE bearings that are used in some profilometers and the Tetraform™ grinding machine for motion control with sub-nanometer performance. The objective of this new bearing design is to produce a low-cost, robust, vacuum compatible and modular dry rubbing bearing with sub-nanometer performance. To operate at these levels, it is necessary to address stiffness, heat removal from the interface, wear, thermo-mechanical characteristics, accuracy of the datum counterface and frictional characteristics (in particular, stiction and load dependence).
