Bearing Friction Apparatus Model MT 008
Bearing Friction Apparatus Model MT 008
Sci-tech Bearing Friction Model MT 008 is designed to demonstrate the categorical difference between sliding and rolling friction and its application for different industrial uses. Apparatus uses different types of plain and rolling bearing of different materials like iron and bronze. Apparatus includes flywheel mounted upon an axle. Axle is supported in a plain or ball bearing and bearing housing is attached with wall bracket. Torque is applied by putting dead weights on the flywheel using hanger which corresponds to the frictional torque when motion begins. Bearing Friction 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 deadweight 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.

Item Description
Sci-tech Bearing Friction Apparatus Model MT 008 is designed to demonstrate the categorical difference between sliding and rolling friction and its application for different industrial uses. Apparatus uses different types of plain and rolling bearing of different materials like iron and bronze.
Apparatus includes flywheel mounted upon an axle. Axle is supported in a plain or ball bearing
and bearing housing is attached with wall bracket. Torque is applied by putting dead weights on the flywheel using hanger which corresponds to the frictional torque when motion begins.
Bearing Friction 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 deadweight 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.
