Rolling Friction Torque in Ball-Race Contacts Operating in Mixed Lubrication Conditions

Based on a theoretical model and an experimental methodology for defining the friction torque for lubricated conditions in a modified thrust ball bearing having only three balls, the authors experimentally investigated the influence of the lubricant parameter Λ on friction torque for mixed IVR (iso...
