Temperature measurements in sliding elastohydrodynamic point contacts
Abstract
Techniques using the infrared radiation emitted by a sliding elastohydrodynamic (EHD) point contact to measure oil film and surface temperature are discussed. Temperature distributions in the EHD contact are presented for a naphthenic mineral oil at 1.04 GN/sq m (150,000 psi) Hertz pressure and several sliding velocities. Film temperatures as high as 360 C are reported at locations near the points of minimum film thickness in the contact side lobes.
