Solid lubricants in rolling-contact bearings

This article points out that in the application of solid lubricant coatings to the frictional surfaces in rolling-contact bearings, little use has been made of the technique of applying the coatings to the individual parts before assembly. Presents data from the literature on the life of solid lubricant coatings and self-lubricated separators in 204 bearings of the normal and high class of tolerances, respectively, these bearings having also been tested in a TsKB-72 tester. Notes that the rolling-contact bearings packed after assembly with the solid lubricant gave longer lives than the bearings with the solid lubricant coating or with the self-lubricated separator, even though the test conditions were more severe.
