The GUNT TM 260.04 Frictional Vibrations experimental unit demonstrates friction phenomena, including the transition from static to dynamic friction and the occurrence of self-excited friction oscillations (slip–stick phenomenon) in bearing and drive technology.
Product Features
- Friction is the resistance of a body against movement on a base; static friction keeps the body at rest, dynamic friction occurs when motion starts.
- Self-excited friction oscillations (slip–stick) occur when static friction is significantly higher than dynamic friction.
- The TM 260.04 tribological system enables clear demonstration of static-to-dynamic friction transitions and friction oscillations.
- Experimental unit contains a rotating stainless-steel disk and a loosely fitting friction ring as the friction pair.
- Contact force adjustable gradually up to 40 N using weights.
- A tension spring prevents the friction ring from rotating; necessary holding force measured by a force sensor.
- TM 260 drive unit required for experiments; unit mounts quickly on the drive frame with quick-action chucks.
- Disk driven via clampable coupling; display and control unit shows frictional force and speed and allows continuous speed adjustment.
- Frictional force and coefficient of friction measured by a force sensor.
- Friction rings made of different materials included to study various friction pairings.
Benefits
- Provides hands-on understanding of friction phenomena and slip–stick oscillations.
- Adjustable contact force and different material pairings allow precise experimentation.
- Quick setup with TM 260 drive unit enables efficient lab use.
- Frictional forces and coefficients can be accurately measured for detailed analysis.
