This paper aims to show through a factorial experimental design significant factors on the polymeric bushing wear PA66, including their amplitude, frequency and spring height, when interacting with a steel axle SAE1018 (from Society of Automotive Engineers - SAE) in a tension belt applied. It was verified that factors as amplitude and frequency are significant and it was possible to propose a mathematical model to predict this wear behaviour for the proposed test. Moreover, an adhesion wear behaviour was verified, whereof a polyamide film was observed on the axle transferred by the bushing. Through the microscopy report analysis, it was possible to see the transfer film topology characterisation for a better comprehension of the adhered polyamide film from the bushing to the axle surface.
