Erratum to: Operating behavior and performance of oil-lubricated plastic gears (Forschung im Ingenieurwesen, (2022), 86, 3, (557-565), 10.1007/s10010-021-00513-7)

The unreinforced plastic gear indicates a minimum lubricant film thickness hmin= 0.39μm and a specific lubricant film thickness of λ= 1.6 for the herein investigated operating conditions. The fiber reinforced variant, however, exhibits a minimum lubricant film thickness hmin= 0.28μm and a specific lubricant film thickness of λ=0.6. Due to the higher roughness and the resulting low specific lubricant film thickness, the carbon fiber reinforced test gears may be more sensitive to wear in operation than the nonreinforced variants of lower roughness. The original article has been corrected.
