Kunststoffgleitpaarungen in der Fördertechnik – Methoden zur Messung von Reibungswerten

Abstract

All conveying systems for unit loads with tractions means are based on a uniform model. The components of this uniform conveying system are contacting each other. Those contacts produce friction and friction force. The extent of the coefficient of friction is important for the design and the economic efficiency of the conveying system. The coefficient of friction is not material characteristic and therefore, needs to be qualified by an experiment. Already existing experimental rigs are inapplicable. On this account it was necessary to develop a new experimental rig to test samples and components of variable forms and dimensions. First measurements show dependency between the coefficient of friction and the velocity, and the normal force, respectively. The tests also point out that friction tests need to be carried out by long term tests.
