Description

The MEC050 equipment is an experimental bench designed to understand the phenomenon of friction between solid / solid materials.

This bench allows to experiment among other things friction:

brass, polished or rough steel on steel or aluminum

The effects of jamming

Rolling resistance

The coefficient of static friction can be evaluated on this bench

In no case is it expected that this equipment will be able to conduct precise measurement and characterization of the friction coefficients.

The robust design of this equipment makes it perfectly suitable for use in schools.

Its anodized aluminum structure on wheels gives it great robustness as well as great flexibility of integration in your premises.

The manufacturing of this equipment meets the European machine directive

This equipment can be used alone or combined with other compatible equipment from our range (see last part of this document).
