The GUNT TM 260.01 Rolling Friction in Friction Wheels experimental unit allows the study of rolling friction and the analysis of frictional forces in bearing and drive technology. It demonstrates how dynamic friction occurs at sliding and rolling points, leading to power losses in technical systems.
Product Features
- Dynamic friction is differentiated into sliding, rolling, and spinning friction; rolling friction occurs when two bodies roll on each other without sliding.
- The rolling motion is superposed with a smaller sliding friction, known as slip, making rolling friction a combination of rolling and dynamic friction.
- The tribological system in TM 260.01 enables clear representation of rolling friction and analysis of frictional forces.
- Experimental unit comprises two friction wheels with aluminium and rubber contact points.
- Slip between friction wheels is kept constant at 4% via a gear unit.
- Contact force adjustable gradually up to 80 N using a lever.
- Unit includes a tank to supply lubricant; experiments can be conducted under dry friction, water, or oil lubrication conditions.
- The TM 260 drive unit is required for operation and allows easy mounting of the experimental unit with quick-action chucks.
- Driving wheel powered via clampable coupling between drive unit and gear unit; display and control unit shows frictional force and speed, allowing continuous speed adjustment.
- Frictional force and coefficient of friction can be determined using a force sensor.
Benefits
- Provides hands-on understanding of rolling friction and dynamic friction concepts.
- Adjustable contact force and slip allow precise experimentation and analysis.
- Supports study of different lubrication conditions for practical tribology applications.
- Quick and easy setup with TM 260 drive unit enables efficient experiments.
