Abstract
This paper considers friction polymer formation in the parched elastohydrodynamic contacts of instrument ball bearings. The experimental section describes a series of tests intended to isolate operating variables of load, speed and film thickness, and lubricant material variables of species and viscosity, as they influence formation rate. The paper then correlates load, speed and thickness results through the Arrhenius Equation for formation rate.
