The Mechanical Friction Testing Apparatus enables precise study of friction between solid bodies under controlled conditions. It ensures parallel alignment of friction and tensile forces for accurate results. A force gauge with an air damper minimizes slip/stick effect spikes, providing stable readings. The system includes three friction plates and two friction bodies with varying surface characteristics for in-depth analysis. A synchronous motor and cable pulley system offer two selectable velocities (23.5 cm/min and 47 cm/min). Complete with an organized storage system, this apparatus is ideal for laboratories and research applications.
