Abstract
A problem of severe wear occurred at the guidance system of a door of a sea-lock. The sea-water immersed guidance was a linear system with aluminium bronze bearing material on stainless steel rail material. A satisfactory laboratory simulation of the wear behaviour of the guidance system was achieved by testing with large test specimens. The materials were tested under different load and speed conditions and different rail surface roughnesses. Technically and economically, improvement of the bearing will have to be realized by choosing a better material combination, as neither speed and load changes nor surface roughness changes offer sufficient improvement.
