The application of greaseless bearings to hydropower and waterways projects requires accurate knowledge of the physical, chemical, absorptive, frictional, and wear characteristics of the available greaseless bearing materials. To intelligently compare bearings, all the bearings must have been tested under the same conditions, and those conditions should, as nearly as possible, replicate the in-service conditions. This work focuses first on defining the parameters to be used in a standardized test procedure, and then presents some general trends and conclusions from results of our first tests.
