Large fluctuating forces act on joints of high speed link mechanisms. The lubrication of the joints moving in space may be poor conditions as compared with the joints fixed on the base. The present paper deals with the abrasion of pairing elements assembled at the crank-pin joint of a crank lever mechanism. The observed experimental results by an abrasion test are discussed from the dynamic forces of the link mechanism with clearances at the joint. The directions of especially increasing abrasion and the mechanism occurring the abrasion on the pairing elements are analytically made clear from the dynamics of mechanism.
