Industrial Lubrication and Tribology: Volume 53 Issue 1

Advancements of tribological performance of carbon brushes in electrical motors

In electrical motors electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy or vice versa. Electrical energy has to be transferred from a stationary component into a moving one…

Protective effect of commercial oil fortifier in fully‐formulated crankcase oils

Commercial oil fortifier was added to fully‐formulated crankcase oils, and their performance, in terms of friction, wear and, most importantly, the role of the additive protective…

A study of sample withdrawal for lubricated systems. Part 1: influence of flow characteristics, sampling techniques and locations

The wear of a machine element, whether it is due to fatigue or abrasive wear, will add contaminants in the form of particulates to the system. If a machine element is starting to…

Microfriction studies of filled PPS/PTFE‐composite blends

The lateral force mode of atomic force microscopy (AFM) was applied to conduct friction tests on a filled PTFE/PPS‐composite blend. This method distinguishes between the…
