However, none is capable to estimate the friction temperature of thermoplastic friction pairings. Therefore, a semi-analytical model for predicting the friction temperature has been developed. Dry friction and periodically recurring contact is a premise. In the article the derivation is shown und influencing parameters are explained. A validation is made by experimental studies on a conveyor system. The model can be applied to sliding chain conveyor as well as perspectively similar tribological systems.} }
