Abstract:Traces of mechanical wear appear on co-working surfaces in the operation of precision fluid bearings. This
should not be the case, since fluid friction and uninterrupted oil film should be present in a friction pair, which
is a concept that this paper attempts to outline. The way friction forces, resistance, and oil film vary as unit
pressure rises linearly is discussed. Three stages of the variations are distinguished. At the first stage, the
oil film thickness and force of friction remain steady while the re… Show more
