Porous composites utilize their unique pore structures to effectively store and release lubricants, providing a fundamental mechanism for continuous lubrication in self-lubricating bearing cages. This study investigates carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced PEEK porous composites fabricated by fused deposition modeling (FDM) and subsequently subjected to heat treatment to improve tribological properties. Results show that incorporating 3 wt% CNTs significantly enlarges average pore size from 0.08 μm to 11.62 μm and increases porosity, resulting in an oil retention rate exceeding 80%. The composites achieve a 26.4–63.4% reduction in friction coefficient under dry sliding conditions at room temperature. After heat treatment, the material maintains a stable friction coefficient below 0.30 during high-temperature dry friction, demonstrating excellent lubricant slow-release capability and thermal stability.
Due to their small size and light mass, small precision cylindrical rollers present challenges in dynamic unbalance detection, including difficulties in measurement and the risk of surface damage. This paper proposes a non-destructive detection device for assessing the dynamic unbalance of small precision cylindrical rollers. The device utilizes an air flotation support method combined with resonance amplification to indirectly measure the dynamic unbalance. A dynamic model of the air flotation tooling-cylindrical roller vibration system was developed to explore the relationship between the vibration parameters of the air flotation tooling and the dynamic unbalance of the cylindrical roller. Modal analysis and harmonic response analysis were performed, revealing that the amplitude of the vibration system at resonance could be detected using the sensor. Additionally, modal testing was conducted to determine the natural frequency of the system. A non-destructive detection platform was constructed for testing the dynamic unbalance of cylindrical rollers. Microscopic observation of the roller surface before and after testing confirmed that the device successfully performs non-destructive detection of dynamic unbalance.
