Dry Friction Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-MTM-11571
Lab Instruments Manufacturers manufactures the Dry Friction apparatus in-house at our own India facility, supplying it to mechanical engineering labs, and as an OEM/private-label item to distributors and exporters across India and internationally.
What This Apparatus Does
This apparatus lets students study mechanical friction between two solid bodies using three support friction surfaces (four different surface types in total) and two friction bodies, each with two different surfaces. A carriage driven by a cable pulley and motor moves the support friction surface at two selectable speeds via a graduated cable drum, while the friction body itself stays stationary, keeping the lines of action of friction force and tensile force always parallel. A height-adjustable force-measuring unit combines a force gauge with an adjustable air damper, so the mean friction force can be measured either with damping (undisturbed) or without damping, where slip-stick effects become measurable. A storage box houses the components.

Typical Lab Use
Engineering colleges use this apparatus in mechanics coursework to teach dry-friction behaviour between solid surfaces, including slip-stick effects, extending the statics fundamentals covered by our Equilibrium of Moments on a Two Arm Lever apparatus into dynamic friction behaviour.
Manufactured In-House
This apparatus is fabricated and assembled at our own India production facility. Manufacturing in-house means our team controls build quality at every stage, and can configure the friction-surface set or accompanying courseware for a specific curriculum or export order without waiting on an outside supplier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this apparatus teach?
It teaches mechanical dry-friction behaviour between two solid bodies, including measuring mean friction force with and without damping and observing slip-stick effects.
How many friction surfaces are provided?
Three support friction surfaces and two friction bodies, giving four different surface types in total.
Can this be supplied as an OEM/private-label order?
Yes, it can be produced and packed under a buyer's own brand name and item codes for distributors and exporters ordering in bulk.
