Coefficient of adhesion for release force in longitudinal direction

Symbol νll
Unit -
Attribute-ID adhesion_coefficient_release_force_longitudinal
Numeric ID 200241
Value Type PMDouble

The coefficient of adhesion νr​ is the ratio of the measured sliding force to the calculated normal force in the joint. The coefficients of adhesion ν must be distinguished from the coefficients of friction (adhesive or sliding friction), where the calculated normal force is replaced by the measured normal force. The coefficients of adhesion are different when the release or sliding force acts in the longitudinal or circumferential direction.

The coefficients of adhesion vary depending on whether a transverse interference fit (joining by heating the hub and/or cooling the shaft) or a longitudinal interference fit (hub and shaft are pressed axially together) is involved.

The following table in accordance with DIN 7190-1 Section 5.3 provides safe adhesion coefficients when slipping for transverse interference fits in the longitudinal and circumferential directions.

The values given in the table apply to continuous loading.  They have been determined using internal parts made of the material X 210 Cr W12 (acc. DIN EN ISO 4957) and are valid for steel.  After joining, the interference fits should settle for approx. 24 h before the first load is applied.
