The friction which tends to prevent stationary surfaces from being set in motion.
〔物理〕静摩擦力
Example sentencesExamples
The air fork performed well for a fork in this price range, meeting every expectation for stiction and stiffness, and response to both big and little hits.
Excessive stiction means substantial impacts are needed to activate this fork, so it lacks small-bump sensitivity.
Flexures provide quasilinear translation without stiction and friction, but flexure-based-translational motion is inherently arcuate.
Handling is good on a smooth road surface, but the forks don't work all that well due to excessive stiction.
The compression stroke does see some initial stiction, but once activated, feels smooth and progressive as the fork reaches its full 100 mm of travel.
