The GUNT Bearing Friction Experimental Unit provides a comprehensive study of friction forces in different types of bearings. This hands-on training system supports analysis of both slide and roller bearings using real-world materials and forces. Ideal for mechanical engineering education, it offers a solid foundation for understanding resistance and motion in bearing assemblies.
Product Features
- Allows investigation of friction on slide bearings with different bearing shells and on roller bearings
- Slide bearings demonstrate sliding motion between bearing and supported component
- Roller bearings show both sliding and rolling motions between rolling bodies and supported component
- Shaft with cable drum and heavy flywheel mounted on a base plate to simulate realistic bearing forces
- Weight of the flywheel generates significant bearing loads
- Moment applied via weights simulates friction moment at the onset of rotation
- Replaceable bearing shells for experimentation with different friction pairings
- Includes bearing shells made of different materials for comparative analysis
- Friction coefficients determined through practical experiments
- Low friction in roller bearings allows use of flywheel for basic rotational dynamics experiments
- Wall-mountable design for space-saving laboratory setup
- Components are clearly laid out and securely stored in an organized system
Benefits
- Deepens understanding of sliding vs rolling friction
- Enhances student engagement with hands-on experimentation
- Supports practical investigation of friction coefficients and material interaction
- Enables study of resistance forces in mechanical systems under load
- Compact, durable, and educationally focused design
