Pivot Friction Apparatus

• Demonstrates the relationship between friction torque and axial thrust; determines the influence of bearing cone angle.
• The wall mounted apparatus consists of a rotating circular table on a vertical shaft, with a variety of interchangeable end pivots and seatings.
• End pivots in brass and steel seatings have inclusive core angles of 60, 90, 120 and 180 (flat) degrees; additionally a ball thrust bearing may be installed.
• Thrust loads applied directly onto the rotating table.
• Pure torque applied by loading cords and weight hangers acting over pulleys onto the rotating table.
• Pivots brass, and the seating mild steel.
• An Instruction manual for student and lecturer supplied.
• Set of weights
