Wheelbearingnoisedangerous

iglidur plain bearings are self-lubricating thanks to the addition of solid lubricants. The solid lubricants reduce the coefficient of friction of the plain bearings and thus support the wear resistance. The coefficient of friction, expressed as μ, is proportional to the normal force and indicates the force that must be applied to move one body against another. Depending on whether a body is to be moved from its resting position or whether the existing movement is to be maintained, a distinction is made between the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of sliding friction.

Coefficient of frictions and surfacesThe relationship between the coefficient of friction and the surface roughness of the mating partner is interesting. Here it can be clearly seen that friction is made up of various components.

When a wheel bearing is starting to go bad, it can cause uneven tire wear. You may see wear on one tire or an area of the tire, on that bad wheel bearing.

The most common sign of a bad wheel bearing is a roaring or grinding noise coming from the wheel. This noise often increases with vehicle speed and may change when turning.

If the mating partner becomes too rough, abrasive processes play an important role. Small, interlocking irregularities in the surfaces must be removed. If the surfaces are too smooth, high adhesion occurs, i.e. the surfaces literally stick together. Higher forces are then required to overcome this, a consequence of the increased coefficient of friction. Stick-slip can be the result of a large difference between static and dynamic friction and a high adhesion tendency of sliding pairs. It manifests itself in uneven running behaviour and can also be noticeable through loud squeaking. It has been observed time and again that such noises can be avoided or eliminated with rougher shafts. For applications that have a particular potential for stick-slip - slow movements, strong resonances of the housing - attention should therefore be paid to the optimum surface finish of the shafts.
