The PA46 polyamide material has a wide application in engineering due to its good mechanical behaviour in transmissions with variable temperature – gears, slides, cams, bearings, guides for chains. In contact with steel materials, small values of the friction coefficients are obtained. The paper presents the testing procedure and the analysis of the obtained results for tests regarding the polyamide/steel type contacts, by considering a variable temperature.
