PERFORMANCE AND USE OF POLYMER PLAN BEARINGS IN TRANSMISSION DESIGN
This course presents the tribological performance of polymeric plain bearings as related to transmission applications and deals with the various wear and damage mechanisms that can occur with a polymer bearing in transmissions. The damage mechanisms discussed include adhesion, abrasion, fatigue and erosion. A brief discussion of relevant lubrication states, boundary lubrication and fluid film formation, is included. The course also addresses specific mechanical design issues associated with using polymer plain bearings within the transmission. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By connecting to this course, you will be able to: • Describe damage mechanisms of polymer plain bearings and washers in transmissions, including: • Adhesion and adhesive friction and wear • Abrasion and abrasive wear • Fatigue and fatigue wear • Cavitation erosion • Cite differences in lubrication states as they relate to the performance of polymer plain bearings and washers, including boundary and fluid film lubrication • Identify material solutions to overcome the variety of damage mechanisms • Discuss mechanical design issues • Describe the uses of plain bearing surfaces within the transmission and related componentry WHO SHOULD ATTEND Engineers who design, calibrate and/or integrate any common style transmission into passenger cars, light trucks, light duty off-highway vehicles, light duty farm machinery, or military vehicles. CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS • Wear or damage mechanisms • Differences in lubrication states as they relate to the performance of polymer plain bearings and washers • Materials solutions to overcome the variety of damage mechanisms discussed • Mechanical design issues • Applications review INSTRUCTORS Michael Kim Principal Engineer, Tribological Materials, GGB Bearing Technology Matt Steiner Applications Engineering Leader, Automotive Segment, GGB Bearing Technology
As part of a broad transmission design philosophy, the understanding and application of tribological systems is critical.
