Calculation methods for predicting the service life of metal-polymer gears with height correction are proposed. Two methods for gear service life estimation are presented: a simplified method that assumes constant tooth interaction conditions and an improved method that takes into account wear-induced changes in tooth interaction conditions. Spur cylindrical gears with a steel gear and a pinion made of polyamide composite reinforced with carbon and glass fibres are studied. The effect of height correction on the service life of the gears is examined, considering the type of tooth engagement. It is established that with the improved method the service life of the gear is by up to 1.3 times longer than that calculated by the simplified method at optimal height correction coefficients. Optimal service life of the gear is achieved when the correction coefficients are x1 = – x2 = 0.1. The effect of the coefficient of friction on gear service life is investigated. It is found that the service life of the gear with a carbon fibre-reinforced pinion is by 8.1...9.3 times longer than that of the gear with a glass fibre-reinforced pinion.
Using the author's method of research of hybrid (metal-polymer) plain bearings the calculation of their load carrying capacity (contact pressures) is carried out. Studies have been conducted for metal-polymer bearings with a bushing of two types of polymer composites: epoxy based antifriction composite materials DIAMANT Moglice (DIAMANT Metallplastic GmbH) and DK6 (PT) (fillers - graphite, MoS2, Zr). The elastic constants of composite materials, in particular the Young's modulus, have a noticeable effect on the contact pressures in metal-polymer bearings. The Young's modulus is significantly different in these composite materials. In accordance with this factor, the influence of load, bushing diameter and radial clearance on the maximum contact pressures was studied. Quantitative and qualitative regularities of maximum contact pressures from the accepted factors of influence: Young's modulus, loading, bushing diameter, radial clearance, type of bushing material are established. The obtained results are compared with the results obtained by known conventional calculating methods of contact pressures.
