frictional forces between two sliding friction pairs
| Code | TM260.03 |
Description:
- In bearing and drive technology, dynamic friction occurs at the sliding and rolling points, which leads to power losses in the technical systems.
- Dynamic friction is differentiated into sliding, rolling and spinning friction.
- In dynamic friction, there is relative translation between the two bodies.
- The tribological system in TM 260.03allows a clear representation of the dynamic friction and an analysis of the frictional forces.
- The experimental unit contains a fixed pin that is pressed axially against a rotating disk as the friction pair.
- The contact force between the friction partners can be adjusted gradually up to a maximum of 80 N by means of a lever.
- The rotating disk is enclosed by an open cup that can be filled with different lubricants for the experiments.
- Different lubrication conditions can be studied, such as dry friction, water or oil lubrication.
- Pins made of different materials are included in the scope of delivery to study different friction pairings.
- The TM 260drive unit is required in order to conduct experiments.
- The experimental unit is mounted quickly and easily on the frame of the drive unit with quick-action chucks.
- The disk is driven by a clampable coupling between drive unit and gear unit.
- The display and control unit of the drive unit shows frictional force and speed and allows the continuous adjustment of the speed.
- The frictional force and the coefficient of friction can be determined in experiments.
- The frictional forces are measured by a force sensor.
- The wear can be determined precisely by measuring the change (reduction) in length of the pin.
