Description
An
aluminium brake drum has a torque applied to it by a loaded weight
hanger. The sense of rotation of the torque determines whether the
single brake shoe acts as a leading or trailing shoe.
A braking
load is applied through a second loaded hanger. Direct comparison of
tangential force and braking load is obtained and the coefficient of
friction determined.
This equipment is part of a range designed
to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic engineering
principles. Great care has been given to each item so as to provide wide
experimental scope without unduly complicating or compromising the
design. Each piece of apparatus is self-contained and compact. Setting
up time is minimal, and all measurements are made with the simplest
possible instrumentation, so that the student involvement is purely with
the engineering principles being taught. A complete instruction manual
is provided describing the apparatus, its application, experimental
procedure and typical test results.
