In lifting systems used for the vertical transport of bulk materials and individual items or persons, so-called frictional force transmission between a steel cable and pulley is used. Due to the sufficient contact pressure between the pulley groove and the surface of the steel cable, the steel cable moves as a result of fibre friction. In general, it is possible to define fibre (also called belt) friction as the resistance that is imposed on a flexible steel cable sliding over the rounded surface of a pulley. The frictional transmission of the tractive force is considered safe if there is no slippage of the cable in the pulley groove. In the event of insufficient cable pressure against the pulley groove or insufficient friction, the transport process fails, and the lifting device is unable to perform its function. The purpose of the article and of the created measuring devices is to obtain by experimental measurements the most accurate true value possible of the coefficient of friction acting on the contact surface of the cable with the pulley groove. The values of the friction coefficients obtained by indirect measurements on laboratory equipment when the tractive force is transferred by friction differ in many cases and do not coincide with the values calculated using theoretical relationships. The aim of the paper is to present a method of measurement and to identify the magnitude of the forces acting on both sides of a cable belted in the V-groove of a cable drum. From the results obtained from the experimental measurements, to express the value of the random variable is based on the knowledge of the known values obtained from the measurements for their use in a failure analysis. This paper presents results that can be applied in the field of online monitoring of this type of lifting equipment for failure analysis, prediction and evaluation of their operational indicators.
