Boedeker TECH Talk Episode 10 | Understanding Coefficient of Friction (COF) Values ASTM D3702

In episode 10 of our Boedeker TECH Talk series, our Technical Services Manager, Jim Hebel, provides a detailed review of Coefficient of Friction (COF) Values and ASTM D3702. The primary test method is used to determine both static and dynamic COF values for plastics. Additional topics include how the Coefficient of Friction (COF) impacts the bearing and wear performance of plastics, the phenomenon of stick-slip and how to avoid it with suitable material selection, and factors that can contribute to decreased COF in bearing and wear applications. This video is ideal for Designers, Engineers, and Maintenance Personnel who want to improve the plastic bearing performance of existing plastic bearings or convert a metal bearing to a plastic bearing and select the best plastic for the application.
