Pin on Disc Friction Module

Pin on Disc Friction Module

The pins rest onto the surface of the disc. As the disc is rotated the lever arm is forced in the direction of rotation, and against a load cell which then monitors the friction force. A load hanger is suspended from one end of the lever arm such that the contact pressure between the pin and disc can be varied. A set of calibrated weights is supplied. The disc runs inside a surround which enables lubrication to be added without spillage. This varies the experimental parameters and results obtained.

Specification:

• To be a bench top unit for investigating wear between pin and disc under varying load and lubrication conditions
• Module to attach to Tribology trainer base unit
• To have pins of varying materials resting on hardened steel disc
• Disc rotates at controlled speed using base unit
• To have ability to run pin and disc in lubrication
• To have integral friction force measurement using strain gauge technology
