The revamped Fretting Wear Test Machine from Falex uses two ball thrust bearings, lubricated with the test grease and oscillated through an arc of 0.21 radians (12Åã) at a frequency of 30.0 Hz (1800 cpm) under a constant load of 2450 N (550 lbf ) for 22 hours at room temperature. Fretting wear is determined by measuring the mass loss of the bearing races.
The Fretting Wear Rig meets the following standard test methods.
ASTM D4170
