GUNT Drive Unit for Tribological Investigations – Friction, Wear & Lubrication

The GUNT Drive Unit for Tribological Investigations is designed for in-depth studies of friction, wear, and lubrication phenomena in mechanical systems. It supports a full set of modular experiments to explore rolling and sliding contact, dynamic friction, and lubrication effects, making it ideal for practical tribology education in engineering labs.

Product Features

  • Supports a complete series of tribological experiments with interchangeable units (TM 260.01 to TM 260.06)
  • Demonstrates rolling and sliding contact cases in classroom and laboratory environments
  • Includes pivotable motor block bearing for horizontal or vertical shaft installation
  • DC motor with continuously adjustable speed via control unit
  • Speed detected by an incremental encoder for precise measurement
  • Frictional forces captured via integrated force sensor in each experimental unit
  • Quick-action chucks allow fast and tool-free assembly of modules
  • Display and control unit shows real-time values for speed and frictional force
  • Demonstrates that frictional force is independent of the contact area with multiple friction pairings
  • Robust frame design suitable for frequent lab use
