Friction of Belt Apparatus

Specification:

• Observes the relationship between the tensions in the two sides of a belt; assesses the differences between vee, rope and flat belts; determines coefficient of friction between pulley and the three belt sections; investigate the effect of angle of lap.
• The wall mounted apparatus consists of a pulley, 3 belts and 2 load hangers. Pulley graduated in 15 degree intervals.
• The aluminium alloy pulley of approx. 150mm diameter has machined grooves to suit the three belts.
• The three belts are vee, rope and flat.
