QTY. 1. FLC LUBRICANT TESTER

QTY. 1. FLC LUBRICANT TESTER PORTABLE FLC LUBRICATING TESTER. (LUBRICITY TESTER) A SMALL JOURNAL IS HELD AGAINST A ROTATING RACE. LOAD IS APPLIED AS THE RACE IS ROTATED. AN AMPERE METER IS USED TO MEASURE THE ENERGY REQUIREMENTS NEEDED TO SPIN THE RACE AT A PRESCRIBED RATE. FORCE IS APPLIED MANUALLY ON THE JOURNAL. THERE IS ALSO A TORQUE-MEASURING DEVICE LOCATED ON THE FORCE ARM. THE FORCE ARM TORQUE IS ADJUSTED BY A TURNBUCKLE. FAILURE OCCURS WHEN THE AMPERES EXCEED ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. RESULTS CAN BE MANIPULATED BY VARYING THE RATE OF TORQUE ON THE FORCE ARM. A SLOW INCREASE WILL PROVIDE ONE SET OF RESULTS. ALSO BY USING QUICK INCREASES IN FORCE A GREASE CONTAINING MOLYBDENUM DISULFIDE WILL QUICKLY PLATE OR "BURN" ONTO THE SURFACE. IF THIS TECHNIQUE IS USED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TEST THE TEST BLOCK WILL ACTUALLY LAST LONGER AT HIGHER LOADS MOTOR DAYTON BELT DRIVE FAN AND BLOWER MOTOR BRG SLEEVE MAX AMB 40 DEG.
