V2F Grease Tester
The V2F Grease Testing Machine evaluates the mechanical stability of grease
in a more stringent fashion than the penetration or roll stability tests. The
machine was developed after extensive measurements on railway axleboxes and
constructed such that the vibrations simulate the actual accelerative forces
typical for passing over rail track joints. To conduct the test, grease is
applied to the two test bearings which are mounted into the axlebox. During
the first testing period of 72 hours, the bearings are run at 500rpm and the
50kg hammer strikes the axlebox with a force of 12 to 15 G every second. The
test rig is calibrated using a normal accelerometer technology, and the
temperature of the bearings is monitored during the test. If limited leakage
is observed, then a second test is run at 1000 rpm. The amount of grease
leakage through the labyrinth seal is measured and evaluated at the end of
the test.
