Friction, Wear and Mechanical Materials Lab

Conclusion

Equipment for friction tests on belts, ropes, drums and brakes is a fundamental component of labs for applied mechanics, mechatronics, transport and logistics, and vehicle maintenance. Through these activities, students:

• become familiar with real technical components;
• learn how to measure and interpret friction forces in different contexts;
• understand how materials behave under load;
• learn to link the performance of mechanical systems to operating and design parameters. These instruments make the learning experience more concrete, stimulating and aligned with the skills required in the professional and industrial world. This solution includes technology that supports inclusion and equal opportunities through innovative teaching methods. It is designed to promote active, collaborative learning.
