Description
Recent work at Timken has improved fidelity of our modeling
of lubricant behavior in elasto-hydrodynamic (EHL) contacts. Employing
the capability of our high-pressure rheology laboratory we have characterized
the lubricant rheology at pressures comparable to rolling contact. This
has improved our modeling of power loss in bearings. Also, in support of
recent trends in Aerospace platforms regarding the adoption of ceramic hybrid
rolling element bearings, we will also briefly discuss the tribological testing
of common Aerospace bearing materials, comparing all-steel and ceramic hybrid
combinations.
