TLDR
In this article, the performance of a variety of space lubricants was compared under boundary and elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) conditions, and the types of fluids studied were naphthenic mineral oil, paraffinic mineral oils, polyalphaolefin, and silahydrocarbon.
Abstract
Performance of a variety of space lubricants was compared under boundary and elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). The types of fluids studied were naphthenic mineral oil, paraffinic mineral oil, polyalphaolefin, and silahydrocarbon. The silahydrocarbon and the polyalphaolefin lubricants exhibited lower traction under similar conditions. A specific additive package increased the traction of the polyalphaolefin. Volatility characteristics of some of these fluids were also studied. Presented at the 45th Annual Meeting In Denver, Colorado May 7–10, 1990
