A Study on the Friction Reduction of Seal Ring for Automatic Transmission by Applying Surface Texture

Texturing on sliding surface of resin seal ring was attempted to improve lubrication in this study. Numerical analysis of hydrodynamic flow at the sliding surface was conducted by Reynolds equation using the finite differential method. Frictional torque was measured at various sliding speeds and pre...
