The following test stands are used in machine laboratory for various laboratory exercises:

TEST STAND FOR EVALUATION OF TRANSIENT STATES OF A DRIVE SYSTEM

TEST STAND FOR EVALUATION OF TRANSIENT STATES OF A DRIVE SYSTEM  

DESCRIPTION: test stand is used for experimental verification of the process of starting a drive system. The students compare the results of their earlier theoretical evaluation of the starting time wit the experimental values. Three case are studied: starting with a friction clutch, starting with a permanent coupling and starting with additional torque as an external load.

WHERE: Laboratory of Tribology named after  B. Niemkiewicz

SUPERVISOR: Marek Łubniewski, MSc, Mech.Eng.


TEST STAND FOR MEASURING CHARACTERISTICS OF A COIL SPRING

TEST STAND FOR MEASURING CHARACTERISTICS OF A COIL SPRING 1 TEST STAND FOR MEASURING CHARACTERISTICS OF A COIL SPRING 2

DESCRIPTION: During the exercise the students measure static characteristic of various coil springs f=f(P) and compare them with the results of earlier theoretical results.

WHERE: Laboratory of Tribology named after  B. Niemkiewicz

SUPERVISOR: Katarzyna Mazur, Ph.D., Mech.Eng.


TEST STAND FOR STUDYING BEHAVIOUR OF PRE-LOADED BOLTS

TEST STAND FOR STUDYING BEHAVIOUR OF PRE-LOADED BOLTS

DESCRIPTION: The test stand is a flange joint in which pre-loaded bolts are use. There is a possibility of measuring load of bolts at different external load. Bolts of various length to diameter ratio can be used. Goal of the exercise is to study the phenomena in a bolted connection with pre-loaded bolts and an external load. Students measure changes in the load in the bolts and flange as a function of the external load and compare them to the results of their earlier calculations. .

SUPERVISOR: Grzegorz Rotta, Ph.D., Mech.Eng.


TEST STAND FOR CONDITIO MONITORING OF BEARINGS

TEST STAND FOR CONDITIO MONITORING OF BEARINGS

DESCRIPTION: In the test rig being a drive system with a driven shaft supported in two deep groove ball bearings on of the bearings lacks lubricant and is located on a shaft with a run out. With the use of a bearing tester the students assess the bearing condition and draw conclusion concerning their possible defects.
