The GUNT Fundamentals of Mechanical Friction Unit enables students to investigate static and dynamic friction between solid bodies through precise and controlled experiments. It demonstrates how different normal forces and sliding velocities affect frictional behavior, providing a solid foundation for understanding mechanical resistance in moving components.
Product Features
- Designed for basic experiments on static and dynamic mechanical friction
- Two solid bodies slide uniformly against each other to simulate real-world friction scenarios
- Frictional forces are measured using a connected force gauge with high accuracy
- Friction body remains stationary while paired material slides underneath
- Motor-driven material movement with two selectable sliding velocities
- Normal force can be varied using additional weights placed on the test bodies
- All components are securely housed in a clear and organized storage system
Benefits
- Provides hands-on understanding of basic friction principles in mechanical systems
- Enables repeatable testing for accurate observation of force variations
- Helps students connect theoretical concepts with measurable experimental outcomes
- Compact and organized setup suitable for classroom or laboratory use
