Conclusions

  1. 1.

    It has been established that in operation with water lubrication, the load-carrying capacity of PTFE-impregnated bronze materials is 3–4 times higher than that of B83 Babbitt metal.

  2. 2.

    In thrust bearings operating at sliding speeds of more than 15 m/sec, a water-lubricated PTFE-impregnated bronze material ensures greater reliability and higher load-carrying capacity than does oillubricated Babbitt metal.
