This article presents a theoretical and literature-based analysis of friction and wear mechanisms occurring in the working components of light-industry machinery. To improve the reliability and service life of machine elements, the tribological properties of different engineering materials — including hardness, friction coefficient, and wear rate — were comparatively evaluated. The results indicate that polymer-based and composite materials (such as PA6, textolite, basalt-fiber and carbon-fiber hybrids) demonstrate superior tribological performance compared to conventional steel counterparts, particularly under lubrication-free or medium-load operating conditions. Additionally, it was found that the effectiveness of the lubrication system plays a critical role in extending the service life of components by minimizing surface degradation. The findings of this study contribute to enhancing energy efficiency, reducing maintenance costs, and improving overall operational performance in light-industry machinery.
