Brake Drum Friction Apparatus

Product Description

Description of DIDAC Brake Drum Friction Apparatus: An aluminium Brake Drum is secured to one end of a sturdy bench top mounted base. The drum has an external cord grooved and its inside face is machined to plain aluminium. A cord is wrapped around the perimeter of the brake drum and the free end of the cord runs over a pulley at the other end of the base and terminates with a load hanger. Torque is applied to the brake drum by using the calibrated weights set provided and the load hanger. Experimental Capabilities of Brake Drum Friction Apparatus: To determine experimentally the variation of tangential force with braking loadTo obtain the coefficient of friction between the aluminium drum and the brake shoeTo compare leading and trailing shoes Specification Of Brake Drum Friction Apparatus To be bench-mounted Brake Drum Apparatus with single leading and trailing shoeTo have drum torque and braking load applied by weight hangers and cordsUsed in the determination of coefficient of frictionTo be a simulation of a real brake systemTo have simple transition from leading to trailing brake shoesAn Instruction manual for student and lecturer provided
