Abstract
    The doors of a mitre gate are typically connected to the lock with large sliding bearings. The friction in these bearings influence the torque required to open and close the doors, and determines among others the power of the actuating mechanism. The material selection of the sliding bearings to a large extent influences the frictional behaviour. Selection of the materials should be done based on representative experiments since it is known that tribopairs behave differently on different test scales and conditions. Therefore, we compared different material combinations on a representative full scale tribological test setup.
