In contrast, leather balls gradually increased their friction coefficients when wetted--to a maximum of about 130 percent of the figure for a dry leather ball. The linings deliver close static-to-dynamic ratios of friction coefficients at higher energy levels, with higher pressure in both dry and wet applications, including brakes, clutches, power transmissions, PTOs and other applicable systems. The drawback to plush seating is that the higher friction coefficient also makes it harder for individuals to transfer from wheelchairs to seats. |
