THE ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE OF THE LUBRICANT FILM IN THE CASE OF THE HYDRODYNAMIC SLIDING BEARING SUBJECTED TO SHOCKS

Abstract

This paper presents experimental research on electrical resistance of the lubricant film, shock absorption in the lubricating film, under different static and dynamic load conditions. We focus on determination of the minimal lubricating film which estimates the minimum lubricating thickness between spindle and bushing in the case of the hydrodynamic sliding bearing subjected to shocks.
