LOAD / SPEED / TOOTH SURFACE
Reduce noise and wear
Review lubrication around tooth condition, load, speed and material combinations.
DIAGNOSTIC FRAMEWORK
Possible causes and checks
Review these possible factors against observed conditions.
Load, tooth contact and surface finish
Identify the noisy tooth/sliding interface and record surface condition together with load.
Retention & lubricant location
Match dose at the required interface and inspect lubricant location, throw-off and loss before/after operation.
Speed, impact and assembly variation
Separate speed ranges and impact loading to distinguish assembly variation from material-change effects.
COMPARATIVE EVALUATION
Comparative test sequence
- Record the baseline
- Compare one factor
- Retest candidate materials
- Review life-test results
