Verification of lubricant friction coefficients
In our laboratory we have special equipment for verifying the coefficients of friction of lubricants and pastes used for lubrication of screw joints. We use the measured results in calculations of tightening torques.
- Equipment and measurement of coefficients of friction in the thread and under the head is performed in accordance with ČSN EN 16047.
- We develop our own lubricants for screw connections.
Example of friction coefficients measured in accordance with ČSN EN 16047
The graphs show a steady course of friction in the thread and under the nut. The horizontal axis expresses the theoretical pressure in the thread p th, respectively under the nut p b, which increases during tightening. It is evident from the course of the curves that the friction does not change with increasing load.Course of the coefficient of friction in the thread depending on the load
