Abstract:

A rolling disc apparatus has been designed and built. Tractions between two crown discs lubricated with 5P4E polyphenyl ether have been measured as function of slip rate over a range of Hertz pressure 80,000-140,000 psi, rolling speeds 900-1820 ips, and temperatures 175 F - 215 F. Comparisons are made between measured tractions, Battelle data, and various analytical predictions. Author
