INFLUENCE OF LUBRICANT TYPE ON THE FRICTION PROCESS PARAMETERS OF TAPERED BEARINGS

Abstract

In order to extend the service life of rotating units of various equipment, it is necessary to ensure proper lubrication of the bearings. Bearing durability depends on various operational parameters such as load applied to the bearing, rotational speed, lubrication method and grease used. This paper presents the results of the research on tapered bearings. During the study, the aim was to determine the influence of the type of grease used on the indicators of the bearing friction process and how these indicators change for bearings of different manufacturers.
