Product Description

Drive Unit For Tribological Investigations

Tribology studies friction, wear and lubrication. Friction occurs when two solids are in contact with each other and their movement is impeded. If material is lost progressively during this process, it is referred to as wear. Lubricants are used to minimise friction and wear.

Learning Objectives And Experiments

1. Together with the experimental units
2. Rolling friction of two disks with slip
3. Elasto-hydrodynamic behaviour in rolling friction of a sphere against a flat surface
4. Wear test: pin against disk
5. Wear test: friction wheel experiment
6. Frictional vibrations and slipstick phenomenon
7. Pressure distribution in the journal bearing

Features

1. Base module for studying various cases of sliding and rolling friction
2. Electronic measurement of the frictional force between friction partners
