The article presents the results of a study of the contact strength of V-belt pulleys when they work on contact collapse. To increase the wear resistance and contact strength of the tribological conjugation, a method for rolling around the side surfaces of pulleys with a roller and a device for its implementation are proposed. The proposed method and device can increase the wear resistance of the pulleys, and hence the durability of 1.6 ... 2.1 times.
The article discusses the method of surface plastic deformation of steel parts by smoothing. The positive influence of this method on the wear resistance of the tool has been established under conditions of intense wear and with abundant lubrication
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
