Abstract:The wear of a polymer composite sprocket primarily depends on contact pressure and sliding velocity that vary significantly during service. The sliding distance and contact pressure at the sprocket/roller interface were estimated for a pristine polymer composite sprocket engaged with a standard and a 3% extended steel chain by employing the explicit finite element method. A set of experiments was executed to find the friction and wear coefficients of sprocket material using polyamide 66 composite pins and stan… Show more
