Tribology in Space Robotic Actuators: Experimental Method for Evaluation and Analysis of Gearboxes

Liquid lubricants are critical to enable long-life operation of high-performance machinery, such as geared actuators employed in robotics. In space applications, actuator gearboxes must operate in low temperatures, where liquid lubricants face inherent problems related to low temperature rheology. H...
