The presented work deals with the study of the effect of increasing the doses of irradiation by accel-erated electrons on the sliding properties of polymer materials. Due to the influence of radiation, sur-face roughness changes occur on the surface of the experimental materials, which lead to changes in the properties of the coefficient of friction on the selected polymer materials. Three types of polymer materials PET, PTFE and PE2000C were used for the experimental research, which, due to their properties, are used for different types of sliding products. A steel ball of G40 material was used as a pressure material, which moved along a linear path on which the load was increased from 10 N to 100 N. Electron beam accelerators with the conversion of electrons to X-rays combine the advantages of a high ability to penetrate gamma photons sources and high performance of electron beam devices. The application possibilities of the device are wide due to the dual mode of operation (electron beam or X-ray beam) and a wide range of applicable doses and also dose rates.
