Conclusions
-
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.
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.
