INTRODUCTION:
The friction coefficient test rig is designed to test the friction material as per - IS2742 and SAE J661
standard, speed sensitivity, road sensitivity, temperature sensitivity and in static condition. It can also
simulate user conditions, which can be programmed by the user for R&D and Quality use. It is fully
computerized and is programmable to study friction reaction and wear against speed, load, and
temperature. Software also provides report unit mode –MKS system.

MONITORING (BY SOFTWARE)

MECHANICAL/MEASURMENT SYSTEM:
 Main Structural Frame is fabricated by steel tube with suitable cross section and plates.
 Bed is fabricated of machined MS (FE410E) with Nickel plating.
 Spindle and pulley(Driver and Driven) is dynamically balanced for smooth operation.
 Spindle is driven by a variable speed 15kW, 415V, 3 Phase, 1515 RPM AC motor through a
double groove V-belt with drive ratio of 1:1.
 Belt tensioning device has been provided to adjust and tighten the belt.
 Drum Heating: Commissioned by four 1.75kW, 415V, 3 Phase incoloy tubular heating
element.
 Rate of heating of Drum: Adjusted by continuously variable transformers.
 Drum Cooling: Maintained by a dynamically balanced 3 Phase Centrifugal Blower : 1.5Kw,
415V, AC, 3 Phase.

 Temperature measurement : Done by a ‘K’ – Type thermocouple mounted at suitable place

of the drum connected to the measurement system through Rotary switch.
 Loading : Achieved through single double acting cylinder.
Load applied is controlled by an electro-pneumatic regulator , regulated by software.
Loading arm is provided with 4 point support , Three are high precision rod ends to give
smooth frictionless tangential movement to measure reactive force.
 Load cells : Used to measure applied load and reactive force in Kgf.
 Drum Speed Measurement : By VFD, calibrated for required RPM( displays in the software).
 Automatic thickness measurement system: LVDT to read the wear of the test sample in mm.

PNEUMATIC SYSTEM:
 The pneumatic system is provided with
 Air Receiver Tank
 Load Pressure Accumulator
 Pressure Regulator : Maintains system pressure
 Electrically Operated Pressure Regulator : Controls Applied load
 Read Switch : Detects Piston position
 Electrically Operated Solenoid Valve
 Single Pneumatic cylinder : Controls loading, lift and run condition on specimen.

ELECTRICAL/CONTROL PANEL:
 A separate ergonomically designed standard control panel is provided to house Electronics,
Electrical and Computer System.
 Computer monitor placed on the control panel at suitable height to provide the best viewing
angle for both sitting and standing position.
 The computer CPU unit is fixed inside the control panel.
 All the Electrical Controls for automatic/manual operations are provided at the Front panel.
 Variable Speed 15Kw AC VFD motor drive is housed inside the electrical panel with cooling
fan.
 Heating Control Rate variable transformers are mounted on the side of electrical panel.

 Force calibration arm ratio 1:1.

SOFTWARE:

 A User friendly menu driven control system, SimTest Dynamics software is provided.
 The software is preprogrammed to run IS2742 or SAE J661 test schedule.

1. Control Software:
1.1 IS 2742or SAE J661 including 3rd fade.
1.2 Speed sensitivity
1.3 Load sensitivity
1.4 Temperature sensitivity
