Adhesive wear is a kind of wear caused by the transfer of materials from one surface to another surface due to the attraction between molecules to produce solid-phase local welding or adhesive connection between two contact surfaces that are in relative motion. called adhesive wear.

Abrasive wear (Abrasive Wear) The surface caused by the combined action of "micro-ploughing", "micro-cutting" and micro-cracking of hard particles or micro-convex bodies on a harder surface in the process of friction Scratches and surface material come off or separate out wear debris.

Fatigue wear (Fatigue Wear) Two contact surfaces that roll or roll and slide with each other. Under the repeated action of alternating contact stress, due to the fatigue of the surface material, microscopic cracks are generated, and abrasives or fragments are separated and peeled off, forming pits. wear. Also known as pitting (Pitting).

Corrosive wear is the wear process of the metal surface under the action of chemical and electrochemical reactions with the surrounding medium during the friction process.

Fretting is the wear caused by the repeated oscillation of the two contact surfaces with small amplitudes. Fretting wear is a composite wear in which driven fatigue and driven corrosion coexist.

Mild Wear is very fine wear. Sometimes used to indicate wear under elastic contact.

Severe Wear is the wear of larger fragments or particles. Sometimes used to indicate wear under plastic contact that has been achieved.

Normal wear (Normal Wear) Design allowable wear and tear

Material transfer (Pick-up or Transfer) The phenomenon in which material is transferred from one surface to another due to strong adhesion at the sliding or rolling interface

Smearing Transfer of material on one surface of the friction pair and re-applying in a thin layer to one or both surfaces

Scratching is the tiny scratches or "ploughs" formed along the sliding direction caused by the "welding" or wear of the local solid phase on the friction surface.

Scratching (Scoring) Severe scratches formed by the same cause as "scratch", also known as scratches

Scuffing The solid-phase "welding" of the two friction surfaces causes local damage, but no local surface fusion occurs.

Seizure: Severe adhesion or transfer of the friction surface, so that the relative movement stops or cannot be moved. Also called biting.

Selective Transfer is a special and extremely selective metal transfer effect of copper alloys on steel when they are rubbed in boundary lubricants such as glycerol and triethanolamine that exclude copper oxidation. It is the phenomenon of selective transfer of copper from copper alloys to steel and back to copper alloys, accompanied by a decrease in the coefficient of friction and a dramatic reduction in wear.

Oxidative wear is the wear when the friction surface interacts with oxygen to form a protective film.

Spalling is the wear in which wear debris is separated from the friction surface in the form of flakes during fatigue wear

Erosive wear is the wear caused by the movement of the fluid containing hard particles relative to the solid, causing the solid surface to be eroded. Also known as erosion (Erosion).

Fluid Erosion Wear due to the action of liquid flow, air flow or air flow containing liquid beads

Cavitation Erosion is the wear caused by local high impact pressure or local high temperature when the solid moves relative to the liquid due to the rupture of bubbles in the liquid near the surface of the solid. Also called cavitation

Ploughing or Plowing is a plough-mark-like failure formed by plastic deformation of the softer surface of the two surfaces in relative motion. plow crease

Wear Rate The ratio of the amount of wear to the stroke or time of wear. Generally, the wear rate can be expressed in three ways: (1) the material wear amount per unit sliding distance; (2) the material wear amount per unit time; (3) the material wear amount per revolution or per swing.

Wear Resistance (Wear Resistance) The ability of a material to resist wear under certain friction conditions, which is evaluated by the inverse of the wear rate

Types of Lubrication The conditions and states under which a lubricant exists between two surfaces.


Two-line Metering Device is a distributor composed of an oil circuit board and one or several two-line oil feeders. All parts can also be combined into one assembly

The throttle distributor (Metering Device With Restrictors) consists of one or more throttle valves or pressure compensation throttle valves and a distributor composed of an oil circuit board. All parts can also be combined into one assembly.

Progressive Plunger Metering Valve A dispenser that supplies lubricant to lubrication points in a progressive order. It consists of progressive oil feeder and pipeline accessories. All parts can also be combined into one assembly

A single-line lubricator (Injector) is a kind of distributor component that quantitatively distributes lubricants. When working, the main line must be alternately pressurized and depressurized to supply lubricant to the lubrication point

Two-Line Metering Valve is a dispenser component that quantitatively distributes lubricants. It has two chambers, and the two main circuits must have alternate pressurization and decompression when working

Progressive Plunger Metering Valve is a dispenser component that quantitatively distributes and controls lubricants. Each lubricator has two chambers, and the main line only needs to be pressurized to supply lubricant to the lubrication point during operation

Pipe fittings (Manifold) matching pipe joints for progressive distributors

Condenser is a distributor that uses fluid resistance to distribute the amount of oil mist sent to the lubrication point and condense oil droplets from the oil mist flow.

Lubricant Spray Valve is an injection device that mixes lubricant and compressed air, and the purpose is to spray uniformly mixed lubricant particles to friction points

Lubricant Spattering Nozzle is an injection device that converts lubricating oil pressure energy into lubricating oil velocity kinetic energy. Its purpose is to inject lubricating oil into the friction points.

Flow-control valve A valve that controls the flow of fluid

Restrictor Valve is a flow control valve that adjusts the flow section. The flow to the lubrication point is related to the differential pressure and viscosity

Pressure-Compensated Flow-control Valve is a flow control valve that automatically maintains a constant discharge flow. The flow rate has nothing to do with the differential pressure
