Observation of Cracks of PEEK Polymer Thrust Bearings under Rolling Contact Fatigue in Water

Abstract:

Considering the advantages on light weight, low friction coefficient, high corrosion resistance and electric insulation, polymer bearings are widely used under certain environments, where the toughness like metal bearings is not necessary. In our previous study, it was concluded that the main reason for PEEK thrust bearings failure in water was flaking due to surface crack propagation. In the present study, crack observations were made on groove surfaces and cross sections along both radial and rolling directions in order to find the relation between cracks and flaking failures.
