A COMPARISON OF WEAR PROPERTIES OF WATER LUBRICATED NBR AND PTFE SLIDING BEARINGS

The excessive wear of a journal shaft can be caused by many factors, for example, working conditions (e.g., temperaturę, slip speed, the type of lubricant), pressure, the type of material used on the bearings and shafts and their roughness, as well as contamination remaining in the system. This paper presents the roughness profiles co-operating with a rubber (NBR) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bushes. The conditions of cooperation between the two materials tested in the sliding combination with the stainless steel journal were the same in each pair of bearings (PV); therefore, the comparison of their wear depends only on the material properties of the bush and the deformation of the journal shaft caused by the bending moment. To assess the size of the journal shaft, they were tested using a profilograph. In addition to the journal shaft, bearings were also evaluated, the wear level of which was noticed without the use of specialized equipment.
