Introduction
Test rigs for plain bearings, using different test Systems, are used all over the world.
The wide range of practical applications with different requirements led to the design
of numerous test rigs for plain bearings. Unfortunately, since the conditions of lubri-
cation in these test rigs are usually not well defined, the test results obtained with one
rig cannot generally be directly compared with results obtained on another test rig, nor
tan the results be related to practical applications. Different test rigs may even produce
different rankings.
This Technical Report aims to improve the comparability and the transferability of the
results by a better definition of the operating conditions, in particular with regard to
I
conditions of lubrication.
The following Parameters tan be used to describe the lubrication adequately :
the minimum lubricant film thickness, its distribution as a fu
a) nction of time and
of location in the bearing under dynamic loading;
b) the maximum lubricant film pressure;
c) the distribution of pressure in the peripheral and the lateral directions as a func-
tion of time under dynamic loading conditions and the resulting (alternating)
Stresses in the bearing material;
the maximum and the mean lubricant film temperature, the coefficient of fric-
d)
as a function of
tion and the Variation of these Parameters time.
Since tribochemical reactions may occur between I u bricant and material, it is also
necessary to characterize the lubricant in as detailed a way as possible.
lt was therefore decided to first specify uniform guidelines for the testing of plain
bearings.
During the ISO/TR 123/SC 2 meeting in Vienna on 12 October 1984 it was decided to
make this method known in the form of a Technical Report. Further experience will be
gathered with a view to publishing an International Standard.
