Friction and wear behaviour of acetal and nylon gears
TLDR
In this paper, an extensive investigation of polymer gear (acetal and nylon) friction and wear behavior was presented. But the most interesting observation from the experimental work is the significant difference in wear behaviour when running acteal against nylon gears, especially the low wear rate when acetal is used as the driver gear.About:

Tribological behavior of selected engineering polymers under rolling contact
TL;DR: In this article, the rolling wear behavior of polyamide 6, polyoxymethylene and polyetheretherketone materials was investigated using different wear testing rigs, in which a steel ball rolls on the polymer plate surface in a rotational or linear motion.

The friction and lubrication of solids
Frank Philip Bowden,David Tabor +1 more
TL;DR: Tabor and Bowden as mentioned in this paper reviewed the many advances made in this field during the past 36 years and outlined the achievements of Frank Philip Bowden, and reviewed the behavior of non-metals, especially elastomers; elastohydrodynamic lubrication; and the wear of sliding surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
The temperature of rubbing surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, a simple formulation of flash temperature theory is given, which reduces the mathematical complexities and instead emphasises the relevant physical considerations, and the use of the theory is illustrated by some new experimental results on the breakdown of Perspex and the wear of steels.
Journal ArticleDOI
The flash temperature concept
TL;DR: A survey of the history of the flash temperature concept and its application in the design of rubbing components that are prone to scuffing can be found in this paper, along with an outline of the theory that is based on this concept and formulas for calculating flash temperatures.

A new approach for polymer composite gear design
TL;DR: In this article, a new design method for polymer composite gear has been proposed based on the link between polymer gear wear rate and its surface temperature, which has been found from the tests that the polymer (acetal) gear wear ratio will be increased dramatically when the load reaches a critical value for a specific geometry.
