MEMT-UB Приводное устройство для трибологических тестов

This unit is common for the modules type "MEMT". It consists of a base unit and an electronic console:

• The Base Unit consists of a drive unit formed by a DC motor with a shaft. The motor is mounted in a reduction gear, obtaining enough torque in the motor for a wide operation range. A force sensor is used to determine the moment of friction and is included in each experimental module in which it is necessary to measure that friction force.
• An electronic console allows to adjust the DC motor speed with a potentiometer and the motor direction of rotation, and to show the DC motor speed and the force applied in two digital displays.

This unit allows the study of different cases of rolling and sliding friction, and the pressure distribution in a journal bearing. The comprehensive range of modules and friction pairings makes possible, among other things, to represent how the friction force is dependent of the contact surfaces except when proper lubrication is used.

The different experimental units are quickly and easily mounted and connected to the base unit "MEMT-UB" thanks to quick-clamping elements.
