REMARKS ON THE WEAR OF A JOURNAL BEARING LUBRICATED BY A GREASE CONTAINING A POWERED PTFE ADDITIVE

It is shown that the wear of a journal bearing lubricated by a grease containing a powered polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) additive is initially greater than the wear of the bearing lubricated by the grease without the PTFE additive, but the total wear of the bearing lubricated by the PTFE loaded grease is almost 2.8 times less than the wear on a similar bearing lubricated by the unloaded grease. An explanation of this phenomenon is suggested.
