Crack Observation of PPS Polymer Thrust Bearings under RCF Test in Water

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polymer bearings are widely used under certain environments due to the advantages on light weight, low friction coefficient, high corrosion resistance and electric insulation. The main reason for polymer bearing failures in water was formation of flakings due to crack propagation. However, the mechanism of fatigue crack propagation in polymer material under rolling contact condition has not been clearly explained yet. In the present study, detailed crack observations were made on cross sections along both radial and rolling directions after RCF (Rolling Contact Fatigue) test in water using PPS thrust bearings.
