Abstract
It has been found experimentally that increased lubricant viscosity will increase the permissible sliding speed without leading to breakdown of the lubricant film while the normal velocity is held at a constant level. The dependence approaches a square root function. It is also apparent that with a squeeze velocity present, increased sliding velocity will decrease the oil-film thickness. An initial attempt at an explanation is given in terms of a combination of Reynolds' equation and further experimental results.
