Laboratory device detecting tensile forces in the rope and coefficient of friction in the rope sheave groove

Original language description

One of the possible ways to transfer the tractive power of a drive unit to the traction element is to use fibre friction. When a steel rope is used as the traction element, there is a transfer of tractive power in the groove created on the perimeter of the rim of the driving rope sheave. The transmission capability of the drive is directly proportional to the size of the angle of wrap and the shear friction coefficient of the rope surface when the rope is in contact with the surface of the groove wall. The relationship for calculating the size of friction coefficient in the grooves is given by relevant technical standards. The coefficient of friction determined in this way does not take into account the state of possible operational contamination of the groove or the diameter of the rope used. Using a unique laboratory instrument, tensile forces were measured for both rope sides in the state of a non-rotating sheave or when the sheave started to rotate rope. Experimental measurements were carried out for two different diameters of steel ropes, which were guided by two types of grooves for the rope sheave, under two limit operating states of the groove wall surface: clean and dirty with oil. By evaluating the measured tensile forces in the approaching and outrunning rope side girded with the groove of the rope sheave, it was found, using measuring apparatus that a rope of a larger diameter acquires a higher value of the friction coefficient for the groove than a rope of smaller. The coefficient of friction in the groove decreases with the increasing size of the sum of the acting tensile forces on both sides of the rope. Lower values of the coefficient of friction achieve semicircular grooves, V-shaped grooves show higher values. Lower values for the coefficient of friction, close to theoretical values, which were calculated using the relevant relationships specified in the standards, were found for a groove contaminated with oil than a dry and clean groove.
