Sliding bearings are widely used in submerged rolls of strip galvanizing line immersed in zinc bath. Submerged roller bearing pair materials include sleeves and bushings. These two parts are in high temperature, load and corrosive working environment. They are prone to wear and failure. The service life of bearing pair materials determines the operation time of the whole galvanizing line. In order to ensure long-term operation of galvanizing line, the most ideal method at present is to select suitable sleeve and bushing material matching pairs. To screen sleeve and bushing materials with good matching performance, a friction and wear tester simulating sleeve and bushing materials in high temperature molten zinc environment was designed and developed. The test machine is divided into three parts: driving system, loading system and heating system. The driving system drives the sample rotation of the sleeve; the loading system drives the bushing pattern to load the sample of the sleeve; the well heating furnace heats the zinc ingot to 480 °C to simulate the zinc pool environment; the vertical loading of bearing pattern and sleeve pattern, the alignment and insulation of the driving system and the loading system are comprehensively considered and solved. The stability of the test machine under test conditions is analyzed to ensure that the signal collected by the sensor has a high reference value.
