Friction Properties of Lining for Koepe Winders

Abstract

The nominal coefficient of friction between the wire rope and sheave lining was measured by an experimental device for koepe winding. The angle of contact is 188 degrees in the device and nearly equal to that in actual winders. On that occasion, the kind of lining and paint, surface pressure and slip velocity were changed variously. Examining the relation between the nominal coefficient of friction and the rope pull, we concluded that this measured value is applicable to the designing calculation of actual winders.
