Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a suitable material for bearings which are used under dry conditions. We performed rolling contact fatigue tests using radial PPS bearings and investigated changes in the material structure and fatigue behavior under dry conditions. From these tests, we found that the bearings stop moving for two reasons: melting of wear tracks and build up of adhesion film on the surfaces in a race.

In this paper, in order to investigate friction coefficient and wear of PEEK-PTFE hybrid radial bearings, rolling contact fatigue tests were performed under radial loads ranging from 93N to 387N at 600rpm in dry conditions. It was found that friction coefficients were 0.013 to 0.032 throughout the tests. Operation temperature followed the change in the friction coefficient, and PEEK-PTFE radial ball bearings exhibited stable performance even though the temperature locally approached 100 °C due to frictional heat. Moreover, wear loss of bearing components excluding alumina balls increased exponentially with increase of load.

In order to explore influence on tribological behavior of PEEK composite film layer in PEEK-PTFE composite radial alumina ball bearings, rolling contact fatigue tests were performed by using the PEEK bearing’s inner rings with the artificial defects in dry condition. When rotation speed and applied load were 600 rpm and 98 N, the number of cycles of the PEEK-PTFE bearings reached 1.0×107 fatigue cycles. The artificial defects with 0.02 mm depth on the raceway surface of the PEEK inner ring was covered with PEEK composite film accumulation.

3D printing methods are developing and they have become popular recently. 3D printing can easily make complex and seamless parts, however, there are questions about their strength. In particular, the strength of the places where the lamination layer joins is important. We performed rolling contact fatigue (RCF) tests in dry conditions using 3D-printed bearing race and observed the fracture behavior and cracks. We found that the main crack is related to the stress moving direction.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a tough semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer with excellent mechanical properties. While abilities of polyphenylenesulfide (PPS) are similar to PEEK, former material cost was lower than later. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is well known because of its low friction coefficient and self lubrication ability. The objective of this study is to observe the friction coefficient of hybrid bearings, PTFE retainer sandwiched with PPS-races or PEEK-races. Rolling contact fatigue tests were performed and in situ friction forces wear measured. It is concluded that the PTFE retainer reduced friction coefficient.

Rolling contact fatigue depends essentially on both surface and subsurface populations of defects. First, this paper describes experimental results obtained in rolling contact fatigue tests in the presence of a furrow oriented transversally to the race-way. Then an attempt to predict theoretically the effect of geometric parameters of the furrow upon contact fatigue life is described.

In this study, rolling contact fatigue (RCF) tests were performed in order to investigate the effect of groove radius on the life of PEEK-PTFE hybrid radial bearings. Furthermore, solid state NMR spectroscopy was performed in order to investigate the molecular structure of PEEK. It was found that groove radius shape was related to limitations of the bearings, and the molecular structure of the PEEK was not changed by the temperature rise in this test. Furthermore, thermal failure of the PEEK was not affected by oxidation during RCF test.
