24、lace theassembly into a plastic jar as described in 10.1-10.4. Place thejar onto the base of the motor drive spindle and center it underthe indexing pin of the drive. Lower the drive until the O-ringjust contacts the 1-kg weight. Run the bottom nut of the depthgauge (see Fig. 3) down to the stop. Pl
25、ace a 3-mm spacer ontop of this nut. Bring the top nut down to the spacer. Whileholding the top nut in position, remove the spacer and run thebottom nut up and tighten it against the top nut. When theO-ring is compressed against the 1-kg weight until the adjust-ment nut hits the stop, there will be
26、a 29-N load added, givinga total load of 39 N on the bearing. (The loads described areprovided by the forces of the spring in the thrust loadingspindle and the sum of the 1-kg weight and spring, respec-tively. These loads are approximate. The 1-kg weights shouldbe within 0.010 kg of their stated val
27、ues. The thrust loadingspindle should be calibrated by some suitable method when itis first put into service, recalibrated periodically, and replacedif its spring does not provide sufficient force to spin the testbearings without slippage during the 60-s run to distribute thegrease.) Examine the O-r
28、ing periodically, and replace it if itshows any cracks or other signs of deterioration.8.2 The thrust loading device should be standardized beforeuse, once per day if used daily, and again if there is reason tobelieve that the standardization has changed. The thrust load-ing device may be standardiz
29、ed using one of the greases to betested.9. Preparation of Bearings9.1 Examine the test bearings carefully and select onlybearings that have outer races (cups) and rollers entirely free ofcorrosion. During the bearing preparation, handle the bearingswith tongs or rubber or plastic gloves. Do not touc
30、h bearingswith the fingers at any time.9.2 Wash the selected bearings thoroughly in hot (52 to66C) mineral spirits, reagent grade (Warningsee 7.5)toremove the rust preventive. To ensure complete removal of therust preventive, subject the bearings to a second wash in freshhot mineral spirits, reagent
31、 grade.NOTE 1The washing temperatures specified are considerably abovethe flash point of the solvent. Accordingly, the washing operation shouldbe carried out in a well-ventilated hood where no flames or other ignitionsources are present.9.3 Transfer the bearing from the mineral spirits, reagentgrade
32、 to the solvent rinse solution (Warningsee 7.4.3)toremove the mineral spirits, reagent grade and any fingerprintsthat may be present. Then rinse the bearing and slowly rotateit in fresh hot (66 6 5C) solvent rinse solution.NOTE 2Fresh solvent rinse solution must be used to avoid selectiveevaporation
33、 of the components at the rinse temperature.9.4 Remove the bearing from the solvent rinse solution andplace it on filter paper to drain. After draining, dry the bearingin an oven at 70 6 5C for 15 to 30 min.9.5 Permit the bearing to cool to room temperature andreexamine its surfaces to ensure that c
34、orrosion-free and free-turning specimens have been selected. (Take care not to spinthe bearings after cleaning and drying.)9.6 Wash and dry the bearing packer using the sametechnique as for the preparation of the bearings.10. Procedure10.1 With the reservoir of the grease packer resting on aclean be
35、nch top, and while wearing gloves, place the bearingcup with the small diameter face down into the recess of thepacker. Place the bearing cone over the cut, and while holdingthe bearing assembly against the packer, lift and invert thewhole unit and return it to the bench.10.2 Fill the reservoir with
36、 the grease sample, and use theplunger to force grease through the bearing. Carefully removethe plunger from the reservoir to avoid sucking air into thebearing, and slide the packer unit over the edge of the bench.Test Jar SpecificationsInner Diameter Range: 3.113.31 in.

(89102 mm)FIG. 2 Plastic Test JarD5969083While holding the bearing assembly in the packer, invert theunit to its original position on the bench.10.3 Using a small square-ended spatula, remove excessgrease from the bearing bore and the annulus between thegrease packer and outer perimeter
38、of the bearing cup. Thebearing is removed from the packer by either the use of thepliers4or by placing a gloved index finger in the bore andlifting it out.10.3.1 While holding the bearing, use the spatula to removeexcess grease above the cage on both sides of the bearing. Thisprocedure is done to en
39、sure that approximately the samevolume of grease is used each time.10.4 Using Fig. 1 as a guide, hold the packed bearingbetween gloved fingers with the large inside diameter of thecup downward and insert the small diameter plastic flange ontop of the bore, and the larger flange into the bottom of th
40、ebore. Slide the bearing assembly onto the 1-kg weight so thatthe large diameter flange fits into the recess on top of theweight. Insert the bolt through the assembly and screw the bolttightly into the weight. Lower the plastic bearing holder (Part8) over the bearing. (The large O-ring faces upward.
41、) Pressdown the holder so that the bearing fits squarely into the holder.10.5 Invert a plastic jar over the bearing assembly. Slide thetwo components over the edge of the bench, and with fingerspressing the weight against the inner bottom of the jar, invertthe entire assembly.10.6 Place the jar onto
42、 the base of the motor-driven spindleand center under the indexing pin of the drive. After the pin isFIG. 3 Run-in Stand DrawingFIG. 4 Spindle/Thrust Loading DeviceD5969084engaged, start the motor and bring the drive into the center ofthe 1-kg weight. Load until the nut hits the depth stop. Run for6
43、0 6 3 s and allow the bearing to coast to a stop. Hold it withtwo fingers and then raise the drive. Take extreme care not tobreak the contact between the races and rollers at this point andin the following steps.NOTE 3At no time during or after the 60-s run shall the grease beredistributed or forced
44、 back into the bearing.10.7 Using synthetic sea water (Warningsee 7.6) pre-pared as in Test Method D 665, make a dilution with distilledwater (by volume, at the desired concentration) to obtain theproper test solution. The synthetic sea water should be no morethan one week old.10.8 Fill a clean syri
45、nge with 100 6 5 mL of the freshlyprepared synthetic sea water test solution. With the run-inbearing in the jar, simultaneously start a timer and begin addingthe synthetic sea water solution into the hole provided for thispurpose in the bearing holder. Add the 100 mL of the solutionwithin 20 6 3 s.
46、When the timer shows 60 s, start withdrawingthe solution. By 80 6 3 s, complete the withdrawal of 70 6 5mL of the solution. Leave the remaining 30 6 5mLofthesolution in the jar. Make sure that water does not touch thebearing after 70 6 5 mL is withdrawn. It may be difficult towithdraw 70 6 5 mL of w
47、ater in 10 seconds using a 16 gaugeneedle. A larger needle may be required.10.9 Screw the cap on the jar and transfer to a dark ovenessentially free from vibration for 24 h at 52 6 1C.NOTE 4Test Method D 1743 calls for 48 h at 52 6 1C.10.10 Prepare three bearings for each grease sample to betested a
48、t the percentage of dilute synthetic sea water of interest.Each group of three bearings is one test. See Table 1 forconversion.11. Rating Procedure11.1 Remove the bearing from the test jar and place thebearing cup in a 50/50 mixture by volume of isopropyl alcohol(Warningsee 7.3 and 7.5) and mineral
49、spirits, reagent grade(WarningCombustible. Vapor harmful). The solvent mix-ture can be heated to facilitate the removal of the grease.Agitate vigorously to remove the grease. Repeat the rinsingusing fresh solvent mixture or gently wipe the bearing with aclean cloth or tissue to ensure that traces of grease areremoved.11.2 Transfer the bearing cup from the solvent mixture andallow to dry on clean filter paper.11.3 Examine the cup raceway for evidence of corrosionwithout the use of magnification (Section 5). Use only a pass orfail rating. Criteria f
