3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
3.8
Cage wear
The wear amount of the bearing cage, during the loading time, expressed in mk.
3.9
Test speed
The rotational speed of the test bearing, expressed by n.
3.10
Axial bearing load
The axial load, which is applied to the test bearing, expressed by Fa.
3.11
Test temperature
The temperature (T), which is measured at the position of the outer ring spring
assembly of the test bearing, during the test.
Note. Due to the high heat loss at the drive end of the test bearing, the temperature, which
is measured here may be 2 °C ~ 5 °C lower.
3.12
Operating temperature
Test temperature (Tb), at the end of the running-in time.
3.13
Running-in time
The time, from the start of the test to the establishment of a steady state.
Note. During the running-in period, the grease is evenly distributed to the surface of each
test piece, with the rotation of the motor, meanwhile a certain amount of wear is generated.
Due to the mutual contact of the bearing test pieces on the working surface, the working
surface gradually tends to be smooth, resulting in an increase in the ratio, between the
thickness of the lubricating film and the roughness of the contact surface, so does the
isolation effect of the lubricating film. The reduction in sliding friction, which is caused by
this smoothing action, results in a downward trend in friction torque, during the running-in.
During the loading time, wear also generally decreases.
3.14
Wear
The phenomenon and process of surface deformation, damage or gradual loss of
surface material, due to friction.
[GB/T 17754-2012, definition 2.3]
3.15
Wear loss
The amount of deformation of the material contact surface of the friction pair OR
loss of surface material, during wear.
[GB/T 17754-2012, definition 5.1]
4 Method overview
4.1 When using the FE8 bearing wear testing machine for the lubricating oil test, first
install two test bearings on the testing machine. Apply a certain amount of test oil into
the lubricating oil circulation system. Through the lubricating oil circulation system, it
supplies oil, at a rate of 0.1 L/min ± 0.02 L/min, to each test bearing. The test is carried
out, under the specified conditions (motor speed 7.5 r/min, axial load 80 kN, test
temperature 80 °C). Weigh the mass of each component of the test bearing, before and
after the test. The wear performance of the lubricant is evaluated, by the wear mass loss.
4.2 During the test, when the friction torque of the bearing continuously exceeds 60
N·m for more than 10 s, due to poor lubrication, OR the continuous running time
reaches 80 h, the test ends. After the test, weigh the bearing components and calculate
the wear loss (mg). Each lubricating oil sample is tested twice; the wear performance
of the lubricating oil is evaluated by the wear loss of the bearing components.
5 Test equipment
5.1 FE8 testing machine
5.1.1 The test equipment adopts FE8 bearing wear testing machine, which consists of
test head, drive unit, control system. The test head (see Figure 1) is detachably
connected to the drive unit, through the cone seat of the test head shaft (7). The drive
shaft (1) of the drive unit is installed in two auxiliary bearings (2), which is driven
directly by a motor (not shown in the Figure), at different speeds in the range of 7.5
r/min ~ 3000 r/min, OR through gear meshing. The test bearing (3) is installed in the
test head. A certain axial load is applied, through the butterfly spring assembly (4).
5.4.4 Brush. The size shall be suitable for the cleaning of the test bearing.
5.4.5 Special rag. No lint or fibers falling off, during the process of use.
5.4.6 Balance. It is used to weigh the test piece. The recommended weighing range is 0
kg ~ 2 kg; the division value is 1 mg.
5.4.7 Demagnetizer. It is used for demagnetization, after the test piece is magnetized.
The power-on continuity rate is 60%; the power is 100 W; the voltage is 220 V.
6 Reagents and materials
Cleaning solvent. The solvent oil for cleaning meets the requirements of No.2 solvent
oil in GB 1922-2006.
Warning. It is flammable material, whose volatile gases are harmful. It shall keep
away from fire, sparks, open flames; avoid prolonged or frequent skin exposure.
7 Preparation of test bearings
7.1 Take the roller of the test bearing out of the cage. Put it into the cleaning cup. Use
a brush, which is dipped in cleaning solvent, to clean it. In the same way, clean the
bearing's outer ring, bearing's inner ring, bearing cage, etc. Place the cleaned bearing
parts in a drying oven, which was preheated to 80 °C, for 30 minutes. Place the dried
bearing parts in a clean container, to naturally dry it to room temperature. Protective
gloves shall be used, when doing the above.
7.2 Use balance to weigh the mass of the roller and the cage. Record it, accurate to 1
mg. Install the rollers into the cage housing, at room temperature. Before installation,
use cleaning solvent and special cloth, to clean the installation tool. Check for free
movement of the temperature sensor and friction torque measurement connections.
Before starting the test run, calibrate the friction sensor.
8 Test steps
8.1 Setting of test conditions
The set speed is 7.5 r/min ± 0.5 r/min; the temperature is 80 °C ± 1 °C. Apply an axial
load of 80 kN ± 3 kN, to the test bearing.
8.2 Installation of test bearings
8.2.1 Install the bearing spacer, the inner ring of the test bearing, the cage with rollers,
the outer ring of the bearing, on the test shaft in sequence (see Figure 1). The inner ring
of the bearing needs to be heated to 80 °C, before installation. Install the bearing-
mounted test shaft, into the test head housing. Then install the loading spring into the
test head. Apply a certain test load, to the assembled test head, through the high-pressure
press. Use bolts to tighten it (tightening torque is 40 N•m). Connect the assembled test
head to the testing machine.
8.2.2 Install the temperature sensor, friction sensor, lubricating oil circulation hose,
heater, cooling fan in sequence.
Note. The heater and cooling fan are configured, according to the test temperature requirements.
8.3 Preparation of the lubrication system
The lubricating oil circulation system is composed of an oil tank and an oil pump, which
has a filter and a flow regulating device. Lubricating oil is supplied to each bearing, at
a volume flow rate of 0.1 L/min ± 0.02 L/min, through the lubricating oil circulation
system. The volume of the fuel tank is 4 L. The lubricating oil circulation system is
connected to the test head, through a hose. The connecting hose shall be free. A new
filter element (with a filtration accuracy of 0 ~ 100 µm) shall be used, every time a new
oil sample test is performed. Fill the fuel tank with test lubricating oil before the test.
The filter element and test oil do not need to be replaced, in the second test of the same
oil sample.
8.4 Start-up test
After the test is started, adjust the external heating device, so that the test oil reaches
the required stable test temperature. Properly position heaters and cooling fans, as
relative to each other, for temperature control. The temperature regulation is realized,
by the temperature sensor and the data processing system, which is connected to it. If
the test set temperature of the test oil is higher than 130 °C, the test shall be started,
when the oil temperature reaches 100 °C, through a period of preheating for 15 minutes,
before starting. Within 1 min after starting, it may not limit the maximum limit value
of friction torque. The test temperature's reference value and the adjustment temperature
value are based on the stationary bearing ring temperature. Heating is done by an
external heating device.
8.5 Monitoring of friction torque variation
If the friction torque is greater than the boundary value by 60 N•m AND lasts for more
than 10 s, the test shall be terminated immediately. It reports the actual test time, in the
test report. Record change of friction torque, by the corresponding recording system. It
can obtain the starting friction torque and operating friction torque, at the end of the
test.
8.6 End of test
After the test, shut down the machine. Remove the cooling fan, heater, lubricating oil
circulation hose, friction sensor, temperature sensor in turn. Disconnect the test head
corresponding Vw value is calculated; the four Vw values correspond to the wear
values in ascending order.
