A Method of Experimental Study of Friction in a Active System

Abstract

It is shown that machines of the SI series for wear-fatigue tests make it possible to measure the friction torque during rolling with a sufficient accuracy. For this purpose, methods for the calibration and determination of the accuracy of all parameters and characteristics being specified and measured are developed. A method for the determination of the coefficient of resistance to rolling depending on the value of the off-contact load is also developed and exemplified. Analysis of the experimental results and analytical description of the complex of these studies will be presented in subsequent papers
