Testing Bearing Lubricants Using the DIN 51819-2 FE 8 Wear Testing Machine

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of DIN 51819-2 standard. The method is used for mechanical-dynamic testing of lubricating greases, angular contact ball bearing or tapered roller bearing with roller bearing tester FE8.

Two angular contact ball bearings or tapered roller bearings are mounted as test bearings in the rolling bearing lubricant tester FE51819 according to DIN 1-8, loaded by the respective axially oriented test force Fa, run at the corresponding test speed n, and any steady state temperature between RT and 200°C with the aid of heater Ub. The steady state temperature should be a multiple of 10°C.

The temperature sensor and friction torque cable should be checked for mobility. The force transducer will be calibrated with three force levels before the test run begins.

After start-up, external heating is turned on in the controller and, if necessary, adjusted until the desired steady-state temperature is reached. Thermocouples should be checked for ease of movement. Temperature control will be performed with temperature sensors and downstream data acquisition system.
