Study on Tribology Characteristics of Friction Material Based on Tribo-Systems

The basic principles of tribo-systems and study method based on tribe-systems are introduced in the paper, Based on the viewpoint of tribe-systems, the experiment on tribology characteristics of friction lining material in multi-rope friction hoist is carried out. The research result shows: tribology characteristics of friction material are not its inherent characteristic but system characteristics of the tribo-systems, the“sliding-rope”of multi-rope friction hoist can be divided into“safety sliding-rope”and“fault sliding-rope”, study on friction material only based on characteristic of system where friction material exists possesses practical significance.
