Konstrukční návrh čtyřkuličkového tribometru

Abstract

This master’s thesis focuses on the design of a four-ball tribometer intended for testing the extreme pressure and anti-wear properties of lubricants in accordance with the ČSN EN ISO 20623 standard. The introductory part of the thesis presents a fundamentals of tribology, followed by an overview of tribolometric testing equipment, with the main focus on four-ball tribometers. The main body of this work is dedicated to the conceptual and structural design of the device. The design process includes strength calculations of the primary stressed components and design of individual components, taking into account functionality, safety, and ease of maintenance. The final outcome of the thesis is a engineering design, including technical drawings, which provides a foundation for the potential implementation of the experimental device.
