The Tribological Modeling of the Tensioning Guide - Toothed Chain Contact

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper addresses the mathematical modeling of the normal force distribution and the contact pressure between the toothed chain links and the tensioning guide. Next, it is highlighted the pressure distribution exercited on the lubricant film on the contact width, using the Reynolds equation. At the end of the paper there are presented the conclusions referring to the transition between the mixed lubrification and hidrodynamic one for the contact between guide and toothed chain links.
