| 内容記述 | A tribometer for the evaluation of liquid lubricants in vacuum is described. This tribometer is essentially a thrust bearing with three balls and flat races having contact stresses and ball motions similar to those in an angular contact ball bearing operating in the boundary lubrication regime. The friction coefficient, lubrication lifetime, and species evolved from the liquid lubricant by tribodegradation can be determined. A complete analysis of the contact stresses and energy dissipation together with experimental evidence supporting the analysis are presented. |
