Abstract

Equipment to be used as a teaching aid in tribology has been designed and tested. Design data, test results drawings and suggested experiments are provided for equipment covering the specific tribology topics of friction, dry wear, fretting, hydrodynamic lubrication and ball bearing failure. -- Equipment included are: -- 1. a novel coefficient of friction device -- 2. a multipurpose tribo-demonstrator which can be used to perform dry friction, pure wear and fretting tests with the pin and disc configuration as well as provide experimental solutions to Reynolds' equation for hydrodynamic lubrication using a sector shaped pad. -- 3. an inverted 4-ball lubrication and ball bearing test rig.
