10、 in the determination of fretting wear.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 The tester is operated with two ball thrust bearings,lubricated with the test grease,oscillated through an arc of 0.21rad(12),at a frequency of 30.0 Hz(1800 cpm),under a loadof 2450 N(550 lbf),for 22 h at room temperature(Note 1).Fre
11、tting wear is determined by measuring the mass loss of thebearing races.NOTE1Arc,frequency,and load are factory-set operating conditionsand should not be altered.The load spring constant may change over anextended time period.Spring calibration should be checked periodicallyand,if necessary,a suitab
12、le shim should be fabricated to obtain therequired load(63%)at the assembled length of the spring.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to evaluate the property oflubricating greases to protect oscillating bearings from frettingwear.This method,used for specification purposes,differenti
13、-ates among greases allowing low,medium,and high amountsof fretting wear under the prescribed test conditions.The testhas been used to predict the fretting performance of greases inwheel bearings of passenger cars shipped long distances.5Testresults do not necessarily correlate with results from oth
14、ertypes of service.It is the responsibility of the user to determinewhether test results correlate with other types of service.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.G0.04
