What is limiting friction?

The maximum friction that is generated between two static surfaces in contact with each other. Once a force applied to the two surfaces exceeds the limiting friction, a motion will occur. For two dry surfaces, the limiting friction is a product of the normal reaction force and the coefficient of limiting friction.
