Experimental Research of Abnormal Wear for Water-Lubricated Polymer Bearings under Low Speed, Heavy Pressure, and High Water Temperature

Polymer bearings used in a real ship had a hydrolysis failure under 50 rpm at 0.5 MPa with 40 °C water temperature. The test conditions were determined based on the operating conditions of the real ship. The test equipment was rebuilt to accommodate bearing sizes in a real ship. Water swelling was e...
