In the article there is proposed a method of calculation of the friction work in joints of a tensioning device with the determination of average pressure and contact area of the surface of joints taking into account design features of the joint and features of its manufacturing. The influence of the coefficient of friction, type of lubricant and temperature on the value of the friction work is analyzed. The obtained data were compared with the value of work of an elastic member to evaluate the influence of friction on the efficiency of a tensioning device.
