Item Open Access Elastohydrodynamic simulation of pneumatic sealing friction considering 3D surface topography(2022) Bauer, Niklas; Baumann, Matthias; Feldmeth, Simon; Bauer, Frank; Schmitz, KatharinaThis contribution presents an elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) model for pneumatic spool valves. For an accurate estimation of the transient friction of this tribological sealing system, the surface topography of the cylindrical sealing counterfaces of the valve housings are measured and analyzed with an optical surface measurement instrument. Based on the surface topography data, tribological properties and flow factors of the system are derived. It has been found that the consideration of the surface topography has a significant influence on the simulation results of the EHL model, lowering the calculated friction force by up to 20 %.Item Open Access An empirical study on the wear of reciprocating hydraulic rod seals using 15 different oils(2022) Feuchtmüller, Oliver; Hörl, Lothar; Bauer, FrankHydraulic oils differ in their chemical composition and viscosity substantially. Their influence on the wear of rod seals is neither fully understood nor can be predicted precisely. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of various oils and their wetting properties on the wear of rod seals. In an empirical study, the wear of 30 commercially available polyurethane U‐cups was investigated with 15 different oils using a recently built test rig. The wear of rod seals increased with lower viscosity and higher polarity of the oil. Both oil properties are combined in a new parameter which helps to assess the lubricity of oil and the wear of rod seals.
