Standard grease added by the manufacturer, while graphite and molybdenum disulphide powder were used for lubrication of the bearings during the measurements. Tests were also carried out to examine the performance of the bearings operating without lubrication. The power of bearing internal friction versus temperature was measured. The lowest bearing internal friction was observed for molybdenum disulphide, whose effective lubricating performance was verified for both types of ball bearings. Graphite powder was almost equally effective with the advantage of being suitable for use in machines that come into contact with foodTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za strojništvo
