HERTZIAN CONTACT APPARATUS

Bench mounted, self contained unit that allows a practical examination of Hertz's theories of contact between materials.

The Hertzian Contact Apparatus is a self-contained and easy-to-use unit that shows the nature of contact between two surfaces. It compares experiment results with predictions based on Hertz's original theories. This helps engineers to predict contact areas between common machined surfaces and materials, for example different types of bearings.

The upper pad (made of a transparent plastic material) has a compound radii. Learn about HERTZIAN CONTACT APPARATUS price for optimal educational outcomes.. The lower pad (made of an opaque flexible material) has a simple radius. A hand-operated hydraulic pump and cylinder force the two pads together. Learn about HERTZIAN CONTACT APPARATUS specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. Students may rotate the lower pad, a pointer shows the angle of rotation. This allows a study of the effect of different relative curvatures. Learn about HERTZIAN CONTACT APPARATUS suppliers for optimal educational outcomes..
