DESCRIPTION
Technical Description
TM 232 provides experiments relating to friction on sliding and rolling bearings. Bearing shells in various materials serve as sliding bearings. Bearing forces are generated by the dead-weight of a heavy flywheel. A torque is applied by means of weights which correspond to the frictional torque when the motion begins. When the rolling bearings are used the bearing friction is very low. In this case the flywheel can be used for fundamental experiments in rotational dynamics.
The unit is intended for mounting on a laboratory wall.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
- determination of friction torque on sliding bearings: various material pairings by means of interchangeable bearing shells
- determination of the friction torque on a rolling bearing
- comparison between sliding and rolling bearing
- fundamental experiments in rotational dynamics
