Within the scope of this work, self-lubricating highly-loaded tribological systems were investigated systematically for the first time. The term self-lubrication is referred to as oil that bleeds from the open-pored sintered gear and providing lubrication to the tribological system. By experimental investigations and simulations, the functionality of the self-lubricated tribological system is confirmed, significant influencing parameters are identified and an explanation of the self-lubricating mechanism is derived.
