Eclectic Hockey League (EHL) is organized hockey by players for players. We started with four teams in 2015, added two more for 2016 start of the season and grew to eight teams starting in 2017 then 12 in 2019.

Most gears operate in a mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) regime, in which both hydrodynamic lubricant films and rough surface asperity contacts coexist. A good understanding of mixed EHL characteristics is vital to gear performance and efficiency improvement, design optimization, and failure prevention.

There are two essential inputs to EHL film thickness estimates: 1) knowledge of lubricant viscosity characteristics, particularly the variation with pressure and temperature, and 2) the relevant design and operating parameters for the particular gearset to be lubricated.

Jul 1, 2015 · Gear teeth, rolling element bearings, cams, and other non-conforming Hertzian contacts are lubricated by the EHL mechanism. Figure 1 is an enlarged view of a lubricated Hertzian contact. It shows the distribution of film pressure and film thickness between two steel cylinders in rolling contact.

Oct 20, 2020 · Gear drives with high contact stress are generally engaged in mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). In this lubrication condition, the high contact temperature is generated by the asperities interaction on meshing gear teeth.

Eclectic Hockey League (EHL) is organized hockey by players for players. We have one division of 40+ players.

Aug 1, 2018 · Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is significant for gear tribology design. This paper introduces a novel non-Newtonian thermal EHL model for helical gears with modifications and misalignments. An asymmetric spherical roller contact model is proposed for the contact between the modified tooth surfaces incorporating misalignments.

Apr 1, 2020 · With the development of gear transmission to high speed and heavy load, the importance of gear elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) performance to mechanical transmission has been further highlighted.

Oct 27, 2020 · In this study, a non-Newtonian, transient, isothermal, mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) model is proposed for helical gear contacts.

Feb 1, 2025 · In this study, a novel elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) model and corrosion wear prediction model for the effects of temperature and water on deteriorating lubricants were proposed.
