Oil Film Formation of Reciprocating Seals Observed by Interferometry

Oil film thickness in rubber piston seals is measured by interferometry. Optimized optics and fluids enable clear interferograms. The oil film thickness on the contact area is measured during reciprocating motion. When the oil film formed on the contact area is sufficiently thick, monochromatic inte...
