Abstract
A tribological system, comprising a main body and a sandwich lubrication, in which the sandwich lubrication includes a binder-free solid lubricant layer comprising a solid lubricant, and a lubricant layer comprising a lubricant. The binder-free solid lubricant layer and the lubricant layer are present as separate layers on the main body and wherein the mass ratio of solid lubricant to lubricant is at most 0.05:1
Claims20
A tribological system, comprising a main body and a sandwich lubrication, wherein the sandwich lubrication includes
- a binder-free solid lubricant layer comprising a solid lubricant, and
- a lubricant layer comprising a lubricant,
- wherein the binder-free solid lubricant layer and the lubricant layer are present as separate layers on the main body and wherein the mass ratio of solid lubricant to lubricant is at most 0.05:1.
A sandwich lubrication, comprising:
- a binder-free solid lubricant layer comprising a solid lubricant, and
- a lubricant layer comprising a lubricant, wherein the mass ratio of solid lubricant to lubricant is at most 0.05:1, and wherein the binder-free solid lubricant layer and the lubricant layer are present as separate layers.
A method of manufacturing a tribological system, comprising the steps of:
- providing a main body;
- applying a binder-free solid lubricant layer comprising a solid lubricant on the main body;
- applying a lubricant layer comprising a lubricant on the main body provided with the binder-free solid lubricant, wherein the mass ratio of solid lubricant to lubricant is at most 0.05:1, such that the binder-free solid lubricant layer and the lubricant layer are present as separate layers on the main body.
A tribological system comprising a sandwich lubrication, wherein the sandwich lubrication comprises:
- a binder-free solid lubricant layer comprising a solid lubricant, and
- a lubricant layer comprising a lubricant, wherein the mass ratio of solid lubricant to lubricant is at most 0.05:1 and wherein the binder-free solid lubricant layer and the lubricant layer are present as separate layers on the main body, and
- the tribological system is, or is located in, an antifriction bearing, a plain bearings, ea transmissions, a chains, a sliding guides, a joint, a ball joint, a wheel bearings of automotive vehicles, a bearings of a wind turbines, a bearing having a high sliding proportion, a rotating plain bearings, a ventilator bearing, a linearly guided plain bearings, a knitting machines, an axial cylindrical rolling body bearings, or an actuating and adjusting device.
