3 diameters of friction plate.
Determination of coefficient of friction.
Three year warranty.
Range of Experiments
To determine the coefficient of friction of the plate material.
To show that the minimum torque to maintain rotation is proportional to the axial load and diameter of the friction disc.
Description
The
wall mounted apparatus comprises a lower stationary plate with friction
discs and an aluminum alloy plate whose shaft rotates in ball bearings
but which is in direct contact with the stationary plate.
The
minimum force on the friction disc is the self weight of the upper
plate, but the contact pressure can be increased by adding weights to
the upper plate. Pure torque is applied to the upper plate through two
loaded cords and pulleys. Three interchangeable friction discs are
supplied of different diameters.
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.
