All contacting surfaces are directly affected by surface friction. Surface friction allows control of all forms of motion. The notes below provide some background into the theory on the factors affecting the coefficient of sur... Read More...
We provide the table below as a consistent set of values for simple elements using the simplest of test methods. It can be seen that values are generally different to the values in the table above...

In mechanical engineering rotary motion can be transferred by mechanical connections between a shaft and hub using only a tight fit. Methods of achieving this type of connection include the engineered interference fit, the taper ... Read More...
The following factors are typical friction factors for power screw torque and efficiency calculations.

(Friction factors apply mainly for screw thread friction (μs) - can be applied to c... Read More...
The coefficient of friction is required in calculating tightening torques and resulting bolt tensile forces and stress and in calculating the resulting friction between the connected surfaces. Below are provided a small number of... Read More...
Note: These properties are very general in nature and should not be used for detail design. Suppliers information should be used for important work. Asbestos should not be used for new or replacement equipment.

The two materials in contact must have a high coefficient of friction.
The materials in contact must resist wear effects, such as scoring, galling, and ablation.
The friction value should be constant over a range of tempera... Read More...
Rolling bearings are called anti-friction bearing. They have high loading capacity and exhibit very low rolling friction torques. The friction torques are similar or lower than ideally designed plain bearing operating under condi... Read More...
Plain bearings can be linear, journal and thrust. They can be hydrostatically, or hydrodynamically lubricated or operated dry. These different modes of operation can all result in very different friction factors. The coefficie... Read More...
When a cylinder rolls on a surface the force resisting motion is termed rolling friction. Rolling friction is generally considerably less than sliding friction. If W is the weight of the cylinder converted to force, or the for... Read More...
A table below shows approximate friction coefficients for various materials. All values are approximate and are only suitable for guidance only. The sliding/lubricated values must be used with extreme care. The only way to determ... Read More...
When the tangential force F overcomes the frictional force between two surfaces then the surfaces begins to slide relative to each other. In the case of a body resting on a flat surface the body starts to move. The sliding fr... Read More...
The static friction coefficient (μ) between two solid surfaces is defined as the ratio of the tangential force (F) required to produce sliding divided by the normal force between the surfaces (N)
μ = F /N

Dry surfaces
For low surface pressures the friction is directly proportional to the pressure between the surfaces. As the pressure rises the friction factor rises slightly. At very high pressure the friction factor then q... Read More...
