    Coef of Friction for ABS/SSteel

    The solvent issue was expected to be a potential long term problem and so the decision was made to look at what we thought were more familiar solutions. It does set me thinking though and I will follow that up next week. Many thanks to you all. That was really useful and I do appreciate your...

    Coef of Friction for ABS/SSteel

    Its a small plastic pendulum mounted on a turned and polished shaft. It just hangs in space but it does need to hang freely like a plumb bob. At small angular changes the starting torque is too high and we cannot lubricate the assembly so we have to work with dry static coef's. We can change...

    Coef of Friction for ABS/SSteel

    Thankyou CoryPad for such a quick response. The range is a bit broad. You obviously have a better grasp of the table than I do. I was thinking about maybe swapping the s/steel for chrome plating. The table was a bit odd as I expected chromium to be a lot lower. I was always told that chromium...

    Coef of Friction for ABS/SSteel

    I need a value for the coefficient of friction between ABS and stainless steel please, even a ballpark figure would be enough to get me started. I have had a good look on the net and several plastics site but the mix of plastic metal seems alien. Any help and sources would be appreciated. Thankyou
