Abstract: Self-lubricating bearings, relying on the intrinsic material properties of their components, provide lubrication for relative motion surfaces, allowing them to be used in high-end equipment components such as aerospace, aviation, and nuclear power, where oil/grease lubrication is impractical. However, as high-end equipment components were pursuing peak performance, new demands emerged for enhanced reliability and extended service life of self-lubricating bearings. Therefore, to develop self-lubricating bearings that met the requirements of high-end equipment components requires clarifying technologies to enhance the performance of existing low-friction, wear-resistant self-lubricating materials, exploring and evaluating test methodologies for assessing the performance of self-lubricating bearings, and mastering predictive techniques for estimating the lifespan of self-lubricating bearings. Based on this, this paper introduces the research progress of three typical self-lubricating bearing mechanisms, elucidates the life testing instruments for both rotating and sliding self-lubricating bearings, summarizes three methods for predicting the lifespan of self-lubricating bearings based on statistics, physical models, and machine learning. Finally, this paper analyzes and forecasts future research directions for self-lubricating bearings.
