Deskripsi

Bearings operating in ultra-low-temperature environments are commonly lubricated with solid lubricants. This study first focused on measuring the traction coefficients of molybdenum disulfide (MoS<sub>2</sub>) solid lubricant under various working conditions. Based on this data, the friction power consumption of the bearings was calculated and analyzed using a dynamic model. Additionally, experimental verification of the bearing friction power consumption in ultra-low temperature environments was conducted. The research findings will serve as a foundation for the application of solid lubrication bearings in ultra-low-temperature environments.
