The paper presents a theoretical approach and experimental analysis of bearings friction from a parallel axes transmission. The bearings are components of a testing rig for determining friction losses in chain drives, depending on the tensioning force, speed, temperature and quality of lubrication. Friction in chain is calculated by subtracting the bearing friction from the global (chain and bearings) friction. It is of maximal importance in the correct evaluation of experimental measurements on the rig, to have accurate data on the friction on bearings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
