Summary

The aim of this work was the prediction of disc service life in electromagnetic clutches of the types frequently used in machine tools. Wear in these discs occurs as a result of a high engagement rates over short time intervals.

The experimental series included measurements of temperature (by means of an infra red optical pyrometer), hardness, and surface finish, and yielded a nomogram permitting prediction of the time required for the critical temperature-hardness level to be reached.

A metallurgical and theoretical analysis is given.
