Slip Creep Measurement Apparatus
Product Code : EL-TOML-11028
The Slip Creep Measurement Apparatus from Lab Exports is a precision engineering lab setup built to demonstrate and quantify belt slip and creep behaviour between a driving and driven pulley system. It gives mechanical engineering students a hands-on method to measure the coefficient of friction between a pulley surface and different belt materials, making it a core experiment in the Theory of Machines curriculum.
