1、Designation:G18213Standard Test Method forDetermination of the Breakaway Friction Characteristics ofRolling Element Bearings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation G182;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the
2、 year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method is an extension of Test Method G164and uses an inclined plane and a paperclip rider to detect the
3、presence or absence of lubricants on the surfaces of flexiblewebs.A study to identify free spinning or low rolling frictionbearings indicated that the paperclip friction test could be usedfor rolling friction by simply replacing the paperclip with arolling element bearing on an axle.The angle of the
4、 inclinedplane at initiation of rolling is the breakaway angle.This testmethod can be used to measure the angle at breakaway of smalldiameter(up to 100 mm outside diameter)rolling elementbearings.The bearings that have been tested in the develop-ment of this method are conventional ball bearings wit
