Lubrication Properties of Nylon Mixed with Lubricants

Abstract

Plastics are used widely as sliding parts. In order to investigate the effect of the varied lubricants mixed in the nylon rollers, experimental equipment was designed and manufactured. In the experiment on the friction of the nylon roller, a nylon roller was rotated contacting with a steel roller in the same direction. From the results of the experiments, it was clarified that the lubrication properties, the friction characteristic and the wear resistance differ with each lubricant mixed in the roller, and the limit for use as the sliding parts could be obtained.
