“…Meziane et al (2020) experimentally and theoretically investigated the film thickness distribution in wide elliptical contact with ZEV condition. Zhao et al (2018) experimentally demonstrated the occurrence of boundary slip using lubricated conjunction of oleophilic and oleophobic surfaces under ZEV condition. Wong et al (2018) offered an idea of making the bearing surfaces different in affinity to oil to facilitate hydrodynamic lubrication for ZEV contacts.…”

Purpose This study aims to present the discrepancy in oil film distribution in reciprocating motion experimentally with zero entraining velocity (ZEV) on a conventional ball-disk test rig with oil lubrication. Design/methodology/approach Driven independently by two individual servomotors, a steel ball and a sapphire disc move at equal speed but in opposite directions in a triangle wave. The oil film images between the ball and the disc were recorded by a camera. After the experiments, the mid-section film thickness was evaluated by using a dichromatic interference intensity modulation approach. Findings The dimpled oil film in transient condition is shallower than that at steady state with the same load and velocities, and the transient dimple depth decreases with the decrease of time. The increase of the applied load offers a beneficial effect on lubrication. Boundary slippage happens in ZEV reciprocating motion. The slippage at the interface is related to the transient effect and applied load. Originality/value This study reveals the significant difference of the oil film variation in ZEV reciprocating motion, especially the complex boundary slippage at the interface of the oil and the sapphire disc.
