Abstract

Flexible cables play significant role in the field of intelligent production and manufacturing. However, with prolonged use, wear will inevitably occur, threatening the safety of operators. And the high temperature of the working will accelerate wear. Hence, the effect of the high temperature was investigated in wear performance of flexible cable. The friction and wear evolution at high temperatures were studied combining the tension stress and elongation. The results show the interaction of heat and wear affects cable friction. At high temperature maximum frictional force increases by 68.93 % compare to the lowest friction at low temperature; the wear is accelerated maximum 90 %. The minimal tensile stress and the elongation at break of cable appear at 1.5 h, which is consistent with the friction force and wear results.
