Component Specifications

Definition

A specialized assembly designed to measure surface friction coefficients of beverage containers (bottles, cans) in automated production lines. It consists of a calibrated probe head, force sensor, linear actuator, and mounting hardware that contacts container surfaces under controlled conditions to quantify slip resistance for quality control and safety compliance.

Working Principle

Operates by applying controlled normal force through a calibrated probe tip onto the beverage container surface while measuring tangential resistance. The system uses strain gauges or piezoelectric sensors to detect friction forces, with data processed to calculate static and kinetic friction coefficients. The linear actuator ensures repeatable contact angles and pressures according to programmed test protocols.

Materials

Probe tip: Tungsten carbide or ceramic (ISO K10-K20 hardness); Sensor housing: 316L stainless steel; Actuator components: Aluminum alloy (6061-T6); Mounting brackets: Carbon steel with corrosion-resistant coating; Electrical connectors: IP67-rated industrial connectors
