Abstract

The possibilities increasing the wear resistance of friction pair radial lip seal/shaft were tested using fluoroligomeric materials and selective transfer technologies. Measurements of friction moment, temperature in contact spot and wear of friction surfaces show that fluoroligomeric coat and selective transfer technologies (metallpolymeric oil additives and NABA-coat on shaft) can considerably decrease the friction losses and increase the wear resistance of friction pair. The microscopic analysis of surfaces shows that using tribotechnical materials in contact spot of friction surfaces forms virtually different structures which can explain the different efficiency mechanisms of the mentioned materials. These tests show that in friction pair radial lip seal/shaft the tribomaterials could be used which create selective transfer effect and have regenerating properties.
