* Friction of V-belts and flat belts on metal pulleys

Technical Description
This experimental unit enables experiments to be performed on belt
drives and belt friction. The core of the unit is a cast iron pulley with
grooves in its circumference for V-belts and flat belts. The pulley is
mounted in ball bearings and is operated with a hand crank. The inertia
of the pulley contributes to even rotation. The belts grip the pulley at an
angle of contact from 30° to 180° in 15° steps. Two spring balances
measure the tensile forces at each end of the belt. The belt tension can
be precisely adjusted using a threaded spindle.

Learning Objectives / Experiments

- Influence of angle of contact, coefficient of friction and belt force
(Eytelwein's rope friction formula)
- Comparison flat belt - V-belt
- Consequences of an incorrectly aligned belt
