Abstract:Thermoplastics show great potential due to their lightweight design, low-noise operation, and cost-effective manufacturing. Oil lubrication allows for their usage in high-power-transmission applications, such as gears. The current design guidelines for thermoplastic gears lack reliable estimates for the coefficient of friction of oil-lubricated rolling–sliding contacts. This work characterizes the friction of elastohydrodynamic rolling–sliding contacts with technical and high-performance thermoplastics with oi… Show more
