Abstract: Experiments were carried out to investigate the tribological properties of spherical plain bearings with copper grid composite liners filled PTFE under two contact pressures(40MPa,60MPa), four oscillating frequencies (1.2Hz, 1.8Hz, 2.4Hz, 3.0Hz) and two swinging conditions. With the help of SEM, EDS and Three-dimensional morphology profiler, the wear mechanism was analyzed. The results indicate the coefficients and wear depths under tilt swinging condition are higher than those of swivel swinging. While the friction temperature show the contrary trend. The research discovers that the friction temperature has a great influence on tribological properties of spherical plain bearings. The analysis demonstrates that the main wear mechanisms are the adhesive and abrasive wear under the two swinging conditions and extrusive wear exist also.

Abstract: The friction and wear behaviors of three kinds of spherical plain bearings with PTFE fabric composite liners were investigated by a high oscillating frequency and heavy load tribo-tester. Dry sliding tests were carried out at different oscillating frequencies. With the help of SEM and EDS, the differences of worn surfaces of the three spherical bearings were investigated. The results indicate that the fiber woven with PTFE effects the friction and wear characteristics of bearing, the tribological properties of bearing with Kevlar/PTFE fiber woven liner is the best in the three kinds of bearing. The abrasive wear are appeared on the surface of wore liners of bearingⅠ,while bearingⅡappeared normal wear, bearing III showed serious adhesive wear and abrasive wear.

Abstract: The friction and wear behaviors of three kinds of spherical plain bearings with PTFE woven liners were investigated by a high oscillating frequency and heavy load tribo-tester. Dry sliding tests were carried out at an oscillating frequency of 1.2Hz and four different loads. With the help of SEM and EDS, the differences of worn surfaces of the three kinds were investigated. The results indicate that the wear depth and friction temperature for the three kinds of bearings show increasing trend with the increasing of load, while the friction coefficient is the opposite. The comprehensive performance of bearing II is the best in the whole course of experiment, while the bearing III is the worst. The adhesive and abrasive wear mechanisms are appeared on the surface of liners. The quality of boning influences the tribological property of the spherical plain bearing.
