- We developed a simpler and less expensive method for measuring friction. Our equipment floats the double-end shaft motor by supporting both sides of the motor shaft with bearings, allowing the stator within the motor case to swing on the rotor with the shaft. Two arms were installed in the motor case; one is attached to a load meter; the other to a balance weight. The motor shaft is connected to the engine shaft, and when the engine is operated by the motor, torque is exerted on the stator with the motor case in the direction opposite to the motor shaft rotation, with engine friction acting as the reaction force. Torque is calculated by multiplying the arm length by the load as measured by the load meter in the arm. As an application of our new motoring friction test method, we measured valve train friction. The cylinder head of a single cylinder gasoline engine was clamped on a test bed, and its camshaft was connected to our friction measuring equipment. Utilizing various follower configurations of the rocker arms, we investigated the friction loss between the rocker arms and the cam. We thus clarified the effect of the valve-opening period and the valve lift on friction loss under various camshaft rotation speeds, and understood the lubricating conditions between the rocker arms and the cam.
