Ding, L., Axinte, D., Butler-Smith, P., & Abdelhafeez, A. (2020). Study on the characterisation of the PTFE transfer film and the dimensional designing of surface texturing in a dry-lubricated bearing system. Wear, 448-449, Article 203238. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wear.2020.203238

The ability of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to form tribo-film in dry sliding condition makes it a popular liner material for self-maintenance bearings, such as those in the helicopter main and tail rotors. Nowadays, hard fillers or reinforcing-fib...
