DESCRIPTION

The apparatus consists of a flywheel on a horizontal shaft carried in a pair of similar bearings, the flywheel being used to even out small variations in friction.

The shaft is of mild steel, and interchangeable bearings in a range of materials are provided. This experiment provides an opportunity to study journal bearing friction over a range of commonly used materials including a self lubricating sintered bronze.

For comparison a ball bearing is supplied to demonstrate the advantages of rolling rather than sliding contact. Torque is applied by a loaded cord wrapped round the flywheel shaft.

EXPERIMENTAL CONTENT

• Allows students to compare the frictional losses of bearings by measuring the coefficient of sliding friction between pairs of materials
• Allows students to measure the compare and contrast losses when comparing different bearing types

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Ships complete with four bearing types – cast iron, Tufnel, sintered bronze, ball bearing
• Load hanger applies torque to flywheel
• Calibrated weights set supplied: 1 x 0.5N, 1 x 1N, 2 x 2N, 1 x 5N, 2 x 10N
• Disk size approximately Ø300mm x 40mm (W). Can double as flywheel apparatus if required

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• The wall mounted unit consists of a flywheel Ø300mm x 40mm (W) (approx.) on a horizontal steel shaft. Interchangeable bearing materials house the shaft
• Bearings are cast iron, Tufnol, sintered bronze and ball bearings
• Torque is provided by a load hanger and loaded cord wrapped around the flywheel shaft
• Can be mounted to the SV100 Bench Mounted Frame
