Study on the Performance of Wollastonite Modified PTFE Composite Material

Abstract

In the research, Polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE) is applied in a newly elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing, i.e. PTFE is modified into the traditional hollow cylindrical roller bearing so as to improve the vibration, wearing properties and life span of the roller bearing. The results show that bearing capacity of the same dimension of WF/PTFE composite materials is higher than that of WP/PTFE composite materials. Small dimension of WF-PTFE composite materials has the best wearing properties under light load conditions; large dimension of WF-PTFE composite materials has better bearing capacity and wearing properties than small dimension of WF filler under heavy load conditions. Compare to traditional method, Rolling stress improves by filler PTFE materials using our method reduces by 17.1% under light load conditions and reduces by 27.7% under heavy load conditions. The research provides basis for the modified material of the elastic composite cylindrical roller bearing.
