Impact of surface roughness on the coefficient of friction of polymer-on-polymer contacts for deflection pulley-rope systems in the lift industry

Guinea, Ainhoa; Aginagalde, Andrea; Tato, Wilson; Llavori, Inigo; Zabala, Alaitz (Springer, 2024)

The coefficient of friction (CoF) between the deflection pulley and rope in a lift strongly affects the life span of the rope. Although surface roughness is a key factor affecting the metallic pulley–rope CoF, its effect ...
