Abstract
Static friction is a phenomenon mainly regarded as
related to frictional joints within static mechanics. At
the onset of sliding in mechanical contacts, static
friction determines the initial resistance against
motion, which subsequently is superseded by sliding
friction. Albeit being a phenomenon of short duration,
the friction and particularly the wear phenomena during
the transition from static friction to sliding friction,
especially if repeated at significant numbers, may be of
great importance for the operational life of the
tribological contact. The paper describes the principles
of static friction measurements, details of a newly
developed static friction tribometer and examples of
results from measurements with unlubricated and
lubricated sample combinations at various loads. The
material couples investigated were steel in contact with
cast iron and steel in contact with white metal.
