Recently, high performance machining center requires special type of sealing mechanism that prevent a leakage of oil jet or oil mist lubrication system. Sealing of oil-air mixture plays important r oles to have an enhanced lubrication for performance machining center. Current work emphasizes on investigations of the air jet effect on the protective collar type labyrinth seal. To improve sealing capabilities of conventional labyrinth seals, air jet is injected against the leakage flow. In this study, an adapted model is introduced to improve sealing capability of conventional non-contact type seals. It has a combined geometry of a protective collar type and an air jet type. Both of a numerical analysis by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and experimental measurements are carried out to verify sealing improvement. The sealing effects of the leakage clearance and the air jet magnitude aic studied in various parameters. Gas or liquid has been used as a working fluid for most of nori-contact types seals including the labyrinth seal. However, it is more reasonable to regard two-phase flows because oil mist or oil jet are used for high performance spindle's lubrication. In this study, working fluid is regarded as two phases that are mixed flow of oil and air phase. Both of turbulence and compressible flow model are also introduced in a CFD analysis to represent an isentropic process. Estimation of non-leaking property is determined by amount of pressure drop in the leakage path. Results of pressure drop in the experiment match reasonably to those of the simulation by introducing a flow coefficient. Effect of the sealing improvement is explained as decreasing of leakage clearance by air jetting. Thus, sealing effect is improved by amount of air jetting even though clearance becomes larger

Ball reducer (HERB Drive: High Efficient Wave Rolling Ball Drive) with waved grooves has many advantages over other types of reducers for high-reduction ratio, low noise and low energy loss, etc. The mechanism of force transmission is very similar to that of cam and follower in automobile valve train system especially in contact behaviors. In this study, we have investigated the traces of contact between ball and outer ring, and the dynamic contact behaviors of elastohydodynamic lubrication(EHL) with a certain reduction ratio. In order to verify the contact behaviors between ball and outer ring for the critical endurance lift, the contact velocity and load are computed for a cycle. During some intervals of a cycle, the contact velocity reverses its direction very suddenly. It is expected that changing the contact direction causes undesirable endurance performance because EHL film frequently col lapse at the moment of velocity reversal. From the computational investigation in this work, we hope to predict similar contact damages in other machinery due to this kind of contact behaviors, which is very typical in many contact phenomena.

Sealing an oil-air mixture plays important roles to have an enhanced lubrication for high speed spindle. High speed spindles require non-contact type sealing mechanism. In this study, an optimum seal design to minimize leakage is concerned in the aspect of flow control. This paper categorizes geometries of mostly used non-contact type seals and analyzes each leakage characteristics to minimize a leakage on sealing area. Effect of minimum clearance and its position are considered according to variation of detail geometry. The estimation of non-leaking property is determined by amount of pressure drop in the leakage path assuming constant leakage flow. To simulate an oil jet or oil mist type high speed spindle lubrication, the working fluid is regarded as two phases that are mixed flow of oil phase and air phase. Both of the turbulence and the compressible flow model were introduced in CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis. Design parameters has been induced to minimize leakage in limited space, and a methodological study on geometrical optimization has been conducted.

Frictional sound is observed in great many practical systems, but its generation mechanism is still unknown Model systems are best suited for research on the fundamental mechanisms, but results cannot be easily applied to real systems, because each system has different sound radiation properties. At present, there is no easy method for evaluation of these properties. We propose to describe the sound radiation property of a tribo-system by the relationship between friction-induced sound power and the friction-induced vibration velocity of the contact element. It was found that the sound power of a tribo-system is linearly proportional to the mean-square velocity of the sliding element by a constant coefficient having the dimension of mass flow rate (kg/s).

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of surface texturing on reduction friction and to understand the potential of friction reduction through micro-scale dimple to fabricate by photolithography on pin-on-disk test using flat-on-flat contact geometry. It was verify that the friction property with respect to the same pitch has been influence on the size of dimple under lubricated sliding contact. Also, we can recognize from Stribeck curve that the friction property has a connection with the size of dimple. It can explain a relationship between the friction coefficient and a dimensionless parameter for lubrication condition. The friction property has been an effect on the size of surface texture on reduction friction, not only because the density of dimple, but also because the ratio of diameter/pitch. This ratio of approximately 0.5 recommend under the tested friction condition. It suggested that the ratio of d/p is an important parameter for surface texture design.

Micro-scale surface pattern has an benefit of tribological application under lubricated sliding contact. Therefore, a special pattern, that has to reduce the coulomb friction under contact, is considered to be necessary for improved efficiency of machines. The current study investigated the friction property of angle effect for micro-scale grooved crosshatch pattern on bearing steel surface using pin-on-disk type. The samples fabricated by photolithography process and then these are carry out the electrochemical etching process. We discuss the friction property due to the influence of hatched-angle on contact surface. We could be explained the lubrication mechanism for a Stribeck curve. It was found that the friction coefficient depend on an angle of the crosshatch on contact surface. It was thus verified that micro-scale crosshatch grooved pattern could affect the friction reduction.

Flow induced vibration in steam generators has caused dynamic interactions between tubes and contacting materials resulting in fretting wear . Series of experiments have been performed to examine the wear properties of Inconel 690 steam generator tubes in various environmental conditions. For the present study, the test rig was designed to examine the fretting wear and rolling wear properties in high temperature(room temperature - 290。C) water. The test was performed at constant applied load and sliding distance to investigate the effect of test temperature on wear properties of the steam generator tube materials. To investigate the wear mechanism of material, the worn was observed using scanning electron microscopy. The weight loss increase at higher test temperature was caused by the decrease of water viscosity and the mechanical property change of tube material. The mechanical property changes of steam generator tube material, such as decrease of hardness or yield stress in the high temperature tests. From the SEM observation of worn surfaces, the severe wear scars were observed in specimens tested at the higher temperature.

바이오디젤은 세계 화석연료의 흐름을 변화시킬 수 있는 환경 친화적 대체물질로 관심의 대상이 되고 있으며 대체연료 외에도 다양한 분야에서 수많은 응용 연구가 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 원유의 정제로부터 얻어진 석유제품을 대체하려는 다양한 움직임이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그 중 윤활기유로서의 식물성 오일은 급속도로 발전된 석유산업으로 인해 상용화 되지 못했던 오일로 관심의 대상이 되고 있으며 자연친화적 생분해성과 무독성, 윤활유로서의 낮은 휘발성과 우수한 계면윤활 등 대체 오일로써 충분한 가능성을 지니고 있다. 하지만 우수한 윤활 및 마모성능에도 불구하고 윤활연구에 넓게 활용되지 못했던 이유 중에는 지방산메틸에스테르가 갖는 열악한 산화안정성(oxidation stability) 및 열화안정도(thermal stability) 때문으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 바이오디젤을 윤활기유 내 일정비율로 혼합하여 윤활성능 및 산화안정성의 변화를 확인하였으며 사구식 내마모 성능시험 후 발생되는 산화 및 열화현상을 알아보았다. 또한 산화에 따른 혼합 오일의 윤활특성 변화를 분석하였으며 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 윤활유 또는 윤활 향상제로서의 가능성을 살펴보았다.

In this paper, the relationship among the 3-D surface topography parameters are studied. Several surface topography parameters that are important in tribology are calculated against various surface topography data. 3-D surface data with desired properties are generated by using the non-causal 2-D auto-regressive (AR) model. The non-causal 2-D AR model is a random 3-D surface topography model that can generate 3-D surface topography data with specified parameters.
