Friction and resource of articulate spherical bearings working without lubrication

Abstract

The methodology of determination of a resource (with use of dependence for definition of intensity of the wear process submitted in generalized variables) and friction coefficient of spherical hinge plain bearings, working without lubrication is developed. Comparison of the results obtained from developed methodology and results of experiments which has shown the satisfactory consent is made. It has allowed to draw a conclusion that, the calculation formulas offered in work, can be used at the design stage of bearings.
