Research of Sliding Characteristic in Parallel Slide Way

Abstract

Friction and abrasion problems are critical in mechanical systems because they greatly affect the length of the system's life. In this study, electric power versus load functionality in a sliding simulator was evaluated by use of the Amontons-Coulomb law, but the gain of the S/N ratio was not reproducible. The function of the simulator was then reconsidered and a new evaluation was performed. Since what the simulator does is to transport objects, the relation between transport distance and electric power was used as the evaluated function. As a result, the gain of the S/N ratio became reproducible, and the lubrication conditions for smooth movement of the simulator were optimized.
