This apparatus is widely used in engineering labs and technical institutions to aid in understanding the effects of braking load, shoe configuration, and coefficient of friction — a key aspect for designing and evaluating brake systems in the industry.

• Determining the variation of tanginal force with braking load.
• Measuring the coefficient of friction between the aluminium drum and brake shoe.
• Comparing the behavior of leading and trailing brake shoes under different conditions.

• Brake drum apparatus with a single shoe.
• Loading by weight hangers and cords to apply a realistic braking load.
• Designed to enable a simple transition from leading to trailing brake shoe.
• Allows for the determination of the coefficient of friction under various loads.
• Serves as a realistic simulation of a real brake system.

In this apparatus, a drum is attached (machined) to a plain aluminium base. A cord is wounded around its perimeter, with the free end connected to a load hanger.
Some calibrated weights are provided for adding to this load hanger to apply a torque on the brake drum. Inside the brake drum, there is a single mounted brake shoe with its own pivot. This brake shoe is connected by a cord to another load hanger.
As additional load is placed on the brake shoe, frict­ion increases, requiring greater effort to rotate the brake drum.
This way, the student can directly observe and measure the effects of frict­ion under different conditions, and can determine the coefficient of friction by noting both the tanginal force and the applied load.
Furthermore, by changing the direction of rotation, the apparatus can be used to demonstrate the differences between leading and trailing brake shoes — a crucial concept in mechanical brake design.

The apparatus includes a braking lever with interchangeable materials (such as steel, brass, nylon, brake lining, or rubber) and a roller bearing for additional comparison.
When a breaking force is applied against the rotating discs, frict­ion resists their rotation. Loading weights on the hangers until the discs start to rotate at a constant rate lets users compute the frict­ion coefficients and observe their variation with surface texture, material, and pressure — delivering a powerful, hands-on understanding of frict­ion fundamentals in mechanical design.

The Fletcher Trolley Apparatus (FrixoDynamics 526) is a high-precision laboratory equipment designed for demonstrating and verifying Newton’s Second Law of Motion — the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. This apparatus is widely used in engineering labs, technical institutions, and educational settings to aid students in understanding the fundamentals of classical mechanics.

The Fletcher Trolley Apparatus is used to observe the effects of two opposing forces acting upon a mass. This apparatus shows that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the unbalanced force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass — a key principle outlined by Newton’s Second Law of Motion (F = m * a).

In this experiment, the mass placed on the trolley and the mass suspended from a cord over a low-frict­ion pulley produce an unbalanced force. As the mass of the hanging load increases, the acceleration of the trolley increases correspondingly. This directly demonstrates the proportional relationship between force and acceleration while honoring the inversely proportional relation to mass.

This apparatus includes a support frict­ion surface that moves underneath a stationary frict­ion body while a motor drives it at a uniform velocity. The frict­ion body is connected to a height-adjustable force gauge, ensuring that the lines of action for both frict­ion force and tensile force remain parallel — yielding more accurate, realistic, and reliable results. The force gauge is designed to filter out “stick-and-slip” effects, allowing for the clear observation of the mean frict­ion force.

Additionally, different material pairs, surface properties, and normal forces can be investigated, with two driving velocities provided for further comparison. This extensive range of experiments helps students appreciate the mechanisms of frict­ion and its significance in mechanical design.

Demonstrate the Principle of Conservation of Angular Momentum

SCIENTICO presents FrixoDynamics 508 — Conservation of Angular Momentum Apparatus, a powerful educational tool designed to aid understanding of a key principle in mechanics. As a leading Forces and Frict­ion Lab Equipment Manufacturer and Forces and Frict­ion Lab Equipment Exporter, SCIENTICO is proud to provide high-quality, reliable, and accurate laboratory equipment for technical education.

• Used for demonstration only — no measurements are intended.
• Demonstrates the basic concept of conservation of angular momentum through visual observation.

The FrixoDynamics 508 — Conservation of Angular Momentum apparatus helps students appreciate and visualize the principle of conservation of angular momentum — a key concept in classical mechanics — in a clear and dramatic way.

This apparatus consists of a rotating arm with two movable weights attached at its ends. The weights can be repositioned inward or outward by pulling a cord. According to conservation of angular momentum, when the weights move inward toward the center of rotation, the rotation speed increases, and when the weights move back outwards, the rotation slows down. This is analogous to a figure skater spinning faster by pulling their arms inward.

While this apparatus cannot perform quantitative experiments, it offers an insightful and striking demonstration for understanding the fundamentals of conservation of angular momentum. This makes it a valuable aid for classroom demonstrations, laboratory sessions, and mechanical training.

Q2: What can I demonstrate with this apparatus?
A2: This apparatus lets you demonstrate visually how changing the radius of a mass on a rotating arm directly influences its rotation speed, illustrating conservation of angular momentum.

As weights are added to the hook, the shear force causes the rubber to deform. A precision dial gauge measures this deformation (deflection), allowing students to calculate stress-strain relationships and modulus of rigidity. Rubber is used as the shear medium due to its high vibration absorption and hysteresis characteristics, commonly observed in engine mounts and machinery foundations.

This setup not only helps students grasp theoretical concepts in mechanics and elasticity but also enhances their practical understanding of real-world material behavior, particularly how non-metallic materials respond under stress compared to metals like steel.
