THE DESIGN AND VERIFICATION OF EXPERIMENTAL MACHINE FOR REAL JOURNAL BEARINGS TESTING

The article presents the design of a machine for determining basic tribological features of real journal bearings. Thus, the article aims at presenting the principle of the machine and the kinematic scheme of the machine. The device is tested by a set of experiments with real journal bearings determined to be applied in automotive industry. The journal bearings on the base of bronze type B70 were tested. The experiment conditions resulted from the chosen application, steering servo unit.Original Abstract: U clanku je prikazana konstrukcija stroja za odredivanje osnovnih triboloskih znacajki stvarnih kliznih lezaja. Dakle, clanak ima za cilj prikazati princip stroja i kinematicku shemu stroja. Uredaj je testiran na setu eksperimenata sa stvarnim kliznim lezajima s namjerom da se primjenjuju u automobilskoj industriji. Testirani su klizni lezaji na bazi bronce tipa B70. Eksperimentalni uvjeti rezultirali su iz odabranog primjera - upravljacki servo uredaj.
