Popis: An experimental study is being made of the friction and wear of pins of different materials in sliding contact with a rotating mild steel disc. A load is applied by dead weights and the excitation is introduced either by out-of-balance in the wheel or by an electromechanical vibrator attached to the loading arm. Stepless speed variation up to 60 ft/s is provided. The friction force, temperature, and worn volume are recorded continuously. Under light loads a synchronous impulsive force appears to decrease the shear strength of the lubricant–metal interface, whereas under a heavy load it does not have a significant effect on the interfacial contact. Synchronous vibrations alter the wear pattern of a phosphor-bronze pin. The running-in period is extended, but the final wear rate is greater. Changes in the running-in characteristics of a steel pin are not observed.
