Measurement of Oil-Film Thickness Between Disks by Electrical Conductivity

Abstract: A special apparatus is designed to measure the oil-film thickness between two stationary disks (simulating meshing gear teeth) by applying a-c or d-c potential across the film and measuring its resistance for given gap between the disks. Experiments show that the treatment of oil with additive (sodium-petroleum sulphonate in this case) may well lead to a considerable increase in its electrical conductivity, and to a substantial improvement in the independence of the oil-film resistance of the electrical histor… Show more

“…Early work (El-Sisi & Shawki 1960) concentrated on the determination of the lm thickness by measurement of its electrical resistance. In later studies, measurements of the lm capacitance (Astridge & Longeld 1967) proved more e¬ective and the use of micro-transducers gave enhanced resolution (Hamilton & Moore 1967).…”

“…Electrical resistance and capacitance have proved useful methods, as have optical methods. However, both these approaches require modifications to the bearing machinery that frequently preclude their application outside of the laboratory [1][2][3][4][5]. One method that shows potential for non-invasive oil film measurement is the use of ultrasonic reflection.…”
