Abstract
The paper deals with experimental measurement of bearing torque and “percentage of lubrication” in instrument size (R6) bearings. The primary parameter found to affect bearing performance for several lubricant investigations is base viscosity. Inference of EHD film thickness is made from the percentage of film measurements which are compared with X-ray data. A reasonable correlation between the two types of data is presented, thereby, paving the way toward the use of the more universally applicable percentage of film measurements for the determination of EHD conditions in real bearing systems.Keywords
