slip–stick phenomenon at the transition from static to dynamic friction
| Code | TM260.04 |
Description:
- Friction is the resistance of a body against movement on a base.
- Static friction means that a body remains at rest under the action of a force.
- If a limit value is exceeded, the body begins to move on the base, resulting in dynamic friction.
- Self-excited friction oscillations, also known as slip–stick phenomenon, occur if the static friction is significantly higher than the dynamic friction.
- The tribological system in TM 260.04allows a clear demonstration of the transition from static to dynamic friction and the occurrence of friction oscillations.
- The experimental unit contains a rotating stainless-steel disk and a loosely fitting friction ring as the friction pair.
- The contact force between the friction partners can be adjusted gradually up to a maximum of 40 N by means of weights.
- A tension spring prevents the friction ring from rotating.
- The necessary holding force is measured by a force sensor.
- 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.
- Friction rings made of different materials are included in the scope of delivery to study different friction pairings.
