Conclusion:
Graph bellow is found from motor parameters, by ramming the robot to the wall.
- As expected, static is lower than kinetic friction coefficient.
- These aren't final results, because 3 measurements at one speed means nothing.
- It is essential to conduct full experiment at different speeds and normal loads, in order to achieve force vs speed load graph and compare with DC motor load graph.
- Next: Full experiment conduction with PU and silicone rubbers.

Really cool, where did you find this machine?
ReplyDeleteIsn't static friction higher than kinectic?
Great job with your robot!
This machine was ordered by Klaipeda University's department of thechnological processes. On of master mechanics told me about this machine. So I tested it out.
ReplyDeletePU is not an ordinary material, especialy on plastic surface. It slips at the begining and builds more thrust, when it slips more, thats why the static is lower than kinetic at this situation.
Thanks for comment, I try my best to share.
