Summary
Description
The Roller Bearing Test Facility houses four full-scale bearing test devices. Each device is capable of simulating the in-service environment of roller bearings. Temperatures in the environmentally controlled rooms can be varied from +130 degrees to 50-degrees Fahrenheit. Research is conducted to better understand the behavior and deterioration process of bearings and to evaluate energy consumption based on various bearing configurations.
