Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is performed on SRV test machine using a polymeric disk having three flat pins oscillating at 50 Hz againsta

26、 steel test disk with lubricant (grease) between them. Test load is fixed to 2000 N using a test temperature of 50C and a strokeof 1.5 mm during a test time of 2 h.NOTE 1Test frequency, stroke length, temperature, and polymeric disk and disk material can be varied to simulate field conditions. The p

27、olymericdisk having three flat pins yields surface-on-flat contact geometry.NOTE 2This test can not be executed with SRV I and SRV II models, as they are limited to 1200 N and 1400 N, respectively. The SRV III and SRVIV model are from the test chamber and operating conditions identical, but the SRV

28、IV model allows to tilt and rotate the test chamber. Both are fullycomputer controlled. This test runs in the SRV IV models horizontally and untilted.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method can be used to quickly determine the lubricating ability of greases lubricating automotive plastic sockets

29、uspension joints. This test method has found wide application in qualifying greases used in chassis systems. This test method isa material and application oriented approach based on inputs from field experiences for characterizing the tribological behavior(friction and wear) using random, discrete,

30、and constant parameter combinations. Users of this test method should determinewhether results correlate with field performance or other applications prior to commercialization.6.
