Description
Technical Details

Precision friction force measurement trainer (SM – 011) is a benchtop educational unit which demonstrate friction forces between plates of different materials sliding on each other. A spring balance records the friction force being generated by the two plates.

The trainer is composed of a base plate with a motor at one end operated using a switch.
The motor drives a cord attached to a sliding primary plate.
The motor ensures a near constant movement of the primary plate, and two different speeds can be selected.
The secondary plate slides on top of the primary plate. It remains stationary as the primary plate slides underneath it.
The secondary plate is attached to a spring balance which records the friction force being generated by the two plates.
Precision linear bearings and slide guides are used for accurate operation.
Secondary plate is connected to an analogue spring balance for friction force recording.
