The coefficient of kinetic friction is a random variable. Its value is governed by a huge number of circumstances. Studying some widely known methods, one of them was improved and made applicable to analyse the rolling resistance of antifriction bearings. The rolling resistance depends mainly on the load, the type of supplied lubricant, the number of speed and the service temperature. Although the suggested test rig is currently under development, it seems to be able to select the proper lubricant for the given installation environment and operation conditions.
