Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sliding bearing swing tests, in particular to a sliding bearing swing test tool. Background Art
[0002] Sliding bearings, such as inlaid bearings and powder metallurgy oil-impregnated bearings, are used in reciprocating rotations and under low and heavy loads. To ensure service life and friction and wear performance, long-term life tests are typically conducted using a swing tester under low-speed, heavy-load conditions. To ensure the proper distance between the test bushings at both ends, existing testing machines utilize a stepped shaft—a larger mating section and a smaller support section. Threaded ends are machined into the shaft, and the test bushings are secured by nuts and mating sections. Life test pins require a hard surface and a soft core, so they are treated with high-frequency quenching. However, due to the different microstructures of the quenched layer and the shaft core, as well as the stepped outer diameters of the mating and support sections, microcracks are easily generated during machining. This can lead to fatigue failure and shaft fracture under high loads, making them inadequate for long-term life testing. Furthermore, to improve shaft life, larger R-angles are machined in the mating and support sections. This introduces transmission lag during testing, resulting in significant wear between the shaft R-angle and the test bushings, distorting the friction coefficient test results for the pin and the sliding bearing.
