18、eristics of a flexible web as it slides on a cylindricalsurface. The web conforms to the cylindrical surface in the areaof wrap.4.2 The test method is conducted on a narrow web or striptaken from a web of interest. One end of the strip is drapedover a stationary cylinder and the other end is affixed
19、 to a forcemeasuring device. A mass is applied to the free end of the stripand the strip is pulled by a mechanism that moves the forcetransducer perpendicular to the long axis of the cylindricalsurface. The force encountered in pulling the strip in contactwith the stationary cylinder (roller) is con
20、tinuously measuredand recorded. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction arecalculated from the force measured by the force transducer.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended to simulate the slip of aflexible web on a roller in a machine or tribosystem thatconveys web material
21、s. Flexible webs such as plastic sheeting,paper, elastomers, metal foils, and cloth are often transported inmanufacturing processes by combinations of driving and idlerrollers. The friction characteristics of the web/roller interfaceoften affects the web transport process. If the web/rollerfriction
22、is too low, the web can slip on the rollers and bedamaged or damage the roller. High friction on the other hand,can lead to steering problems and overloading of drivingmotors.5.2 This test method can be used to rank rollers for theirability to resist slip versus a particular web material (highfricti
23、on). Conversely this test method can assess web materialsor web surface coatings such as waxes and lubricants. In thislatter case, the goal may be a low-friction product made froma web (film, magnetic media, paper, and so forth).5.3 If a tribosystem involves transport of a flexible web ona roller, t
24、his is an appropriate test to use to measure the frictioncharacteristics of the roller/web couple.6. Apparatus6.1 Two possible configurations of the test are shown inFigs. 1 and 2. The essential features of the apparatus are:6.1.1 A force measuring device attached to one member ofthe friction couple
25、,6.1.2 A stationary cylindrical surface to be used as onemember of the friction couple,6.1.3 A system to move the flexible strip (web) member ofthe friction couple, and6.1.4 Masses to be used to tension the free end of the teststrip.6.2 Force MeasurementCommercially available or home-made strain gag
26、e or similar force transducers are acceptable.The device should be linear in the force range anticipated intesting and the transducer shall be calibrated with knownmasses or a similar system for each use.6.2.1 Force transducers shall be accurate within 1 % of therated scale of the device and should
27、have overload protection.The friction force during the entire test should be recorded.(WarningDigital filters can alter the force data to the pointwhere the data are not valid. Analog strip chart recorders havebeen shown to be acceptable recording devices for this testmethod. (See Guide G 163 for de
28、tails on digital data acquisi-tion)6.3 Cylindrical SurfaceThe recommended diameter of thetest cylinder should be the same diameter as the rollers orcurved surface that is simulated in the friction test. Thecylinder surface texture and material of construction should bethe same as the tribosystem of
29、interest. If materials are beingevaluated without simulating a particular tribosystem, the testroller can be the same as the roller used in the interlaboratoryFIG. 1 Schematic of Capstan Friction TestFIG. 2 Use of Tensile Test Machine to Perform the CapstanFriction TestG 143 03 (2009)2tests of this
30、test method: 100-mm diameter (100 mm long),50-m thick hard coated (thick hard anodize) 6061-T6 alumi-num with a surface roughness of 0.75 to 1 m Ra (measuredparallel to the cylinders axis; surface was lathe generated).6.4 Sliding MotionThe device shown schematically inFig. 1 uses a linear motor to p
31、ull the test strip. The cylinder isstationary. Any device with controlled acceleration and veloc-ity is acceptable.Aball screw driven by a variable speed motoris suitable as is the crosshead on a tensile testing machine. Inthe latter case, it may be necessary to use a sheave with afree-wheeling roll
32、ing element bearing to transfer the motionfrom a vertical to horizontal plane (see Fig. 2).NOTE 1Some devices rotate the cylinder and hold the web with aforce transducer. This was done in interlaboratory tests and produced thesame results as pulling the web over a stationary cylinder.6.5 Tensioning
33、MassOrdinary masses from balances andsimilar laboratory equipment are suitable for tensioning. It isimperative to attach the masses and the friction transducerswith a device that prevents lateral motion of the test strip.Bridle devices such as the one shown in Fig. 3 allow a straightpull of the test
34、 strip. If lateral slip occurs in a particular test, theresults will probably be different from a test in which thisunwanted slip does not occur.6.6 Test EnvironmentThe friction characteristics of someweb/roller couples can be affected by the ambient temperatureand relative humidity. Both friction a
35、nd temperature at the timeof testing shall be recorded and, if the tribosystem that is to besimulated involves some special environment, then this shouldbe simulated. Test samples should be incubated for an adequatetime to reach equilibrium in the intended test environment priorto testing. Twenty fo
36、ur hours is a minimum incubation period.6.7 CalibrationA suitable system for calibration of theforce transducer is to mount the transducer vertically andsimply apply a series of known weights on the transducer withthe force recording device running. Make sure that the outputof the force transducer i
37、s linearly proportional to the appliedforce over the range of forces to be measured. Calibrate usingweights that produce force comparable in magnitude to theforces anticipated in the friction test.7. Test Procedure7.1 Specimen Preparation:7.1.1 Clean the roller surface in a manner that is consistent
38、with the application that is under simulation. Cut virgin stripsfrom the test web as the other friction member. Take care notto fingerprint or alter the test surface in handling the web.Convenient sample dimensions are 25 mm wide with a lengthof about 500 mm. Practice E 122 or other statistical meth
39、odscan be used to determine the necessary number of testreplicates. Three is the minimum.7.1.2 Do not clean the web specimen unless that is part ofthe study. If paper or plastic sheets are being tested, they shouldbe tested with untouched as-manufactured surfaces. Cut theweb specimen in such a fashi
40、on that there is no edge burr onthe side that contacts the roller. This is extremely important.Ensure that the edges of the strip are parallel and in the desiredorientation with respect to the long axis of the host web. Auseful tool for sample preparation is to affix two single-edgedrazor blades to
41、a block of wood spaced at the desired stripwidth. This device can be used to cut samples from thin plastic,cloth, and paper webs. The interlaboratory tests were con-ducted with web strips that were 25 mm in width and 500 mmlong.7.2 Mounting the SpecimenAffix one end of the web stripto the bridle end
42、 of the force transducer; drape the strip over thetest roller (cylindrical surface), and apply the desired tension-ing mass. Avoid clamp systems that have significant elasticity.If a tensile-testing machine is used to produce motion, flexiblesteel cable can be used to pull the strip. Ensure that the
43、 strip ispulled straight (aligned with the web tension) within 61 mm.Markers can be used on the test roller to determine if trackingis within the 1-mm limit.7.3 Setting the Sliding Parameters:7.3.1 VelocityThe capstan friction tester allows selectionof sliding velocity, sliding distance, and free-en
44、d tension on thestrip. It is recommended that values for these parameters beselected to simulate the system of interest. The sliding velocitybetween webs and transport or drive rollers in manufacturingmachines is usually in the range from a fraction of a percent ofthe web speed to a worst case of 10
45、 % of the web speed. (Forexample, if a web conveyance system is being simulated witha web speed of 1 m/s, a low-end test velocity may be 5 mm/sand the high-end test velocity 0.1 m/s.) There is a velocity limitin this type of test. High speed will cause instability in thecontact of the web with the c
46、onforming cylindrical surface.Users can test the velocity limits of their system, but 0.1 m/s isabout the limit of the systems that were used in interlaboratorytesting. A continuous loop test (Test Method D 3108) is moreappropriate for high sliding velocities.7.3.2 Sliding DistanceIf the goal of thi
47、s test method is thestatic coefficient of friction, the test can be stopped after a fewmillimetres of sliding. If the goal of this test method is both thestatic and the kinetic coefficients of friction, it is desirable toslide for as long a distance as the test setup will allow. With thetest setup s
48、hown in Fig. 1, the maximum travel on commerciallinear motors is about 0.5 m. The allowable motion on thepulling device is the limiting factor on sliding distance.Interlaboratory tests were conducted with a sliding distance of150 mm. This is the recommended sliding distance for this test.7.3.3 Test
49、TensionThe tensioning mass affixed to the freeend of the strip specimen can be any magnitude that willsimulate the system of interest. The practical limit is the massthat will produce tensile yielding or breaking of the test strip.FIG. 3 Method for Gripping the Test StripG 143 03 (2009)3The maximum tension that has been used in the ASTMinterlaboratory tests was 150 N on a 25-mm wide test strip.Repeatability tests were conducted with a tension of 4.45 N onthe 25 mm-wide test strip. It is advisable to test at a variety ofweb tensions if this is likely to
