The rotor exhibits a reactive torque responsewhen it encounters a viscous resistance from an oil that fills thegap between the

23、rotor and stator. Two oils, a calibration oil anda non-Newtonian reference oil, are used to determine the gapdistance between the rotor and stator so that a shear rate of1 3 106s1is maintained. Additional calibration oils are usedto establish the viscosity/torque relationship which is requiredfor th

24、e determination of the apparent viscosity of test oils at150C.5. Significance and Use5.1 Viscosity at the shear rate and temperature of this testmethod is thought to be representative of the conditionencountered in the bearings of automotive engines in severeservice.5.2 The importance of viscosity a

26、d and lowered by meansof a platform, which, in turn, is cantilevered from an elevatordevice. The gap between the rotor and stator is controlled byadjustment of the platform height.6.1.2 The resistive force of the test oil is transferred to theload cell by the turntable on which the motor sits. Thist

27、urntable has a projecting arm on which is mounted a contactball. The rotor is spun by the motor at a constant speed of 50or 60 r/s depending on the frequency of the alternating current.When the rotor encounters viscous resistance, the reactiveforce presses the ball against the platen of the load cel
