Slip

Slip

Slip describes the difference between the actual movement of a wheel, belt, or drive and its theoretically possible movement. It occurs when a wheel or drive surface spins without generating full propulsion. Slip can reduce the efficiency of a drive system and lead to increased wear.

Causes of Slip

  • Smooth Surfaces: Reduced traction due to wet or slippery ground conditions.
  • Overloading: Excessive load can lead to a lack of traction.

Prevention of Slip

Slip can be minimized by using non-slip materials and traction control systems.
