The resistance to indentation. This is measured by the relative resistance of the material to an indentor point of any one of a number of standard hardness testing instruments.
Industry:Machine tools
Constant friction created during the operation of a dynamic seal.
Industry:Machine tools
fit
The amount of internal clearance in a bearing. Fit can also be used to describe shaft and housing size and how they relate to the bore or outside diameter.
Industry:Machine tools
Bearing which positions shaft against axial movement in both directions.
Industry:Machine tools
Bearing so designed or mounted as to permit axial displacement between shaft and housing.
Industry:Machine tools
A series of small axial burns caused by an electric current passing through the bearing while it is rotating.
Industry:Machine tools
Wear characterized by the removal of fine particles from mating surfaces. Fretting is caused by vibratory or oscillatory motion of limited amplitude between contacting surfaces. (See False Brinelling. )
Industry:Machine tools
Resistance to motion due to the contact of surfaces.
Industry:Machine tools
Friction developed during initial or starting motion.
Industry:Machine tools
A term usually applied to the last machining operation on any surface of a bearing, such as "Finish O. D. , " "Finish bore, " etc.
