The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-529 Pressure Distribution in Journal Bearings Apparatus is a tribology unit for the direct visualisation and measurement of the circumferential pressure profile in a hydrodynamically lubricated journal bearing. A 50 mm stainless steel shaft runs within a 52.5 mm transparent open bearing shell, driven by a 200 W geared motor at continuously variable speeds from 0 to 200 rpm. Thirteen radial pressure tapping points around the bearing shell each connect to an individual tube manometer, displaying the full pressure distribution simultaneously as oil column heights up to 360 mm. The bearing gap is set precisely from 0 to 2.5 mm using a micrometer screw (0.01 mm graduation), and the spring plate shell mounting replicates self-aligning bearing behaviour. Students investigate pressure distribution as a function of speed, gap width, and load — including the bearing stability limit. Supplied with 0.5 L lubricating oil and comprehensive instructional material. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-528 Journal Bearing Friction Apparatus is a motorised tribology unit for the experimental investigation of hydrodynamic lubrication and friction in radial journal bearings. A 40 mm stainless steel shaft journal operates within interchangeable bearing shells of sintered bronze, cast iron, and PTFE, driven by a 750 W three-phase AC motor with variable frequency drive providing continuously adjustable speed up to 9,999 rpm. Bearing load up to 200 N is applied via a lever arm and weights, and friction moment (30–750 Nmm) is measured simultaneously using a second lever and spring balance. Digital displays show both shaft speed and lubricant temperature in real time. A drip-feed lubricator supplies ISO VG 100 oil continuously through a dedicated lubrication channel, with excess oil collected in the drip tray. Students investigate friction as a function of speed, load, bearing material, and lubricant temperature — including Stribeck curve behaviour. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate tribology and machine elements laboratories. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-527 Dry Friction Apparatus is a motorised experimental unit for the systematic investigation of static and dynamic friction between solid bodies under controlled surface, material, velocity, and normal force conditions. A synchronous motor drives a support friction surface carriage at two selectable constant velocities — 23.5 cm/min and 47 cm/min — beneath a stationary friction body connected to a height-adjustable force gauge (0–10 N, 0.05 N graduation). Four friction bodies — smooth and rough aluminium, smooth and rough brass — and four interchangeable support friction surfaces allow material pairing and surface condition to be varied independently. Normal force is adjusted using 10 x 0.5 N calibrated weights. The gauge mounting ensures parallelism of force lines of action, and the gauge design compensates for stick-slip effects to display a stable mean friction force. Suitable for undergraduate tribology, applied mechanics, and mechanical engineering laboratories, the FX-527 is supplied complete with friction bodies, support surfaces, and weight set. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-531 Pin-Jointed Frameworks Apparatus is a fully instrumented structural mechanics unit for the experimental study of member forces, strains, stresses, and deflections in configurable pin-jointed truss structures.

A 0–500 N load cell applies forces at variable angles and positions, a 16-way digital strain bridge displays all member forces simultaneously, and a digital deflection gauge measures node displacement. Bow’s Notation, method of joints, and comparative framework experiments are all supported. Optional LabVIEW-based software adds automatic data acquisition and virtual experiments extending beyond hardware test limits. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate structural mechanics and civil engineering laboratories. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-525 Equilibrium of Parallel Forces Apparatus is a frame-mounted statics unit for the experimental verification of parallel coplanar force equilibrium conditions — ΣFv = 0 and ΣM = 0 — using two acrylic truss models and a 12-point Perspex circular disc. Warren and N-truss acrylic models, each counterbalanced to eliminate self-weight, accept vertical loads and reactions applied through nylon cords, hanging weights, and double pulleys. Force lines are recorded on A1 paper clipped to the force board for graphical link polygon construction and moment equilibrium verification. The circular disc provides 12 attachment points for couple equilibrium experiments across a range of couple arm positions. A comprehensive weight set — 10 pieces each of 5 N, 2 N, 1 N, and 0.5 N — supports a wide range of loading configurations. Suitable for undergraduate statics, structural mechanics, and applied mechanics laboratories, the FX-525 is supplied complete with all models, weights, rings, thread, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-524 Dry, Rough and Lubricated Friction Apparatus is a wall or frame-mounted experimental unit for the systematic determination of sliding friction coefficients across three disc surface conditions — dry fine-machined, rough, and lubricated — using five interchangeable sliding material samples (steel, brass, nylon, brake lining, rubber) and a roller bearing. A repositionable braking lever presses the selected sample against any of the three discs on the common shaft, and dead weights are added to an effort pulley hanger until the shaft rotates at constant speed, establishing the friction force at that braking load. Results are calculated as friction coefficients or presented graphically as friction force versus braking load curves. The roller bearing test case provides a direct comparison of sliding versus rolling friction under identical conditions. Suitable for undergraduate tribology, machine elements, and mechanical engineering laboratories, the FX-524 is supplied complete with five material samples, weight sets, thread, and instructional manual with example results. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-523 Clutch Plate Friction Apparatus is a bench-top experimental unit for the investigation of friction torque transmission in flat disc clutch systems. Four interchangeable friction discs — galvanised steel, clutch lining, loose friction disc, and ring disc (outer 250 mm, inner 150 mm) — are pressed against a flat leather driving disc by a loading arm acting through a thrust bearing, with axial clamping load controlled by calibrated dead weights. Torque is applied to the clutch plate via dual 25 mm effort pulleys and load cords, and the slip threshold is identified by incremental weight addition. Results are compared against both uniform pressure and uniform wear theoretical calculation methods, reinforcing analytical understanding alongside experimental measurement. Suitable for undergraduate machine elements, tribology, and mechanical engineering design laboratories, the FX-523 is supplied complete with four friction discs, weight sets, additional 30 N weights, thread, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-522 Pivot Friction Apparatus is a hand-operated bench-top unit for the experimental investigation of friction in axial (pivot) bearings. A vertical shaft fitted with interchangeable conical bearing journals — at cone angles of 60°, 90°, 120°, and 180° flat — mates with interchangeable bearing housings of different materials, enabling independent study of cone geometry and material selection effects on friction torque. A 200 mm anodised aluminium disc at the top of the shaft accepts axial dead weights and provides the torque application surface via a rope wound around its periphery. The onset-of-motion method — adding weight to the rope hanger until the shaft just begins to rotate — gives the friction torque directly. Two additional 5 kg axial loading weights and a fine-increment weight set (down to 0.1 N) support a wide range of axial load and torque conditions. A rolling contact bearing comparison experiment is also supported. All components are stored in a foam-inlaid storage unit. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-521 Bearing Friction Apparatus is a wall-mounted experimental unit for the determination and comparison of friction torque in plain sliding bearings and rolling bearings under identical loading conditions. A 300 mm galvanised steel flywheel of 22.2 kg provides the bearing load through its own dead weight, eliminating the need for a separate loading mechanism. Three sets of interchangeable sliding bearing shells — gun metal, cast iron, and PTFE — and a Type 6203 grooved ball bearing allow four bearing configurations to be tested on the same stainless steel shaft. Friction torque is determined by adding dead weights via a cable drum and hanger until the flywheel just begins to rotate, with the onset-of-motion load directly corresponding to the bearing’s frictional torque. With rolling bearings installed, the flywheel additionally supports fundamental rotational dynamics experiments. Suitable for undergraduate machine elements, tribology, and mechanical engineering laboratories, the FX-521 is supplied complete with all bearing sets, weight set, hanger, thread, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-530 Cord Friction Apparatus is a wall-mounted experimental unit for the investigation of rope friction across four steel pulley profiles — flat rim, 120°, 90°, and 60° V-groove — and across variable lap angles. A continuous cotton rope loop passes over a fixed primary pulley and an interchangeable second pulley, with two load hangers at its lower ends. The onset-of-slip condition is established by incrementally loading one hanger until the rope just slides, yielding the tight-side to slack-side tension ratio from which the coefficient of friction is calculated. The lap angle is varied using alternative bracket mounting positions for the second pulley, and the V-groove angle effect on effective friction is compared by substituting each of the four pulleys in turn. Suitable for undergraduate machine elements, tribology, and mechanical engineering laboratories, the FX-530 is supplied complete with four pulleys, cotton rope, load hangers, weight set, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-520 Drum Friction Apparatus is a bench-top experimental unit for the investigation of drum brake friction using a single pivoted shoe inside a plain aluminium drum of 130 mm internal diameter. Calibrated dead weights applied to two independent cord-and-hanger systems control the braking load on the shoe and the torque applied to the drum separately. Students record the torque hanger load required to rotate the drum at near-constant speed across a range of braking load increments, construct a tangential force versus braking load graph, and derive the coefficient of friction directly from its slope. Leading shoe and trailing shoe behaviours are compared by reversing the direction of drum rotation — requiring no component changes. The apparatus directly simulates the operating principle of a real single-shoe drum brake system. Supplied complete with brake drum, brake shoe, two weight sets, two hangers, and thread. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-519 Belt and Cord Friction Apparatus is a portable, bench-mounted unit for the experimental determination of friction coefficients in belt drive systems and the verification of Eytelwein’s rope friction formula. A 150 mm anodised cast iron pulley, ball bearing-mounted and fitted with three grooves, accommodates a flat belt (leather/polyamide, 15 x 2.2 mm), a V-belt (ISO 4184 A-type, rubber/fabric), and round belts (rubber, 8 mm and 10 mm). The contact angle is adjustable from 30° to 210° in 30° increments, and two calibrated weight sets establish the tight-side and slack-side tensions for friction coefficient calculation. Flat belt versus V-belt versus round belt friction comparisons and the effect of incorrect belt alignment can both be investigated on the same apparatus. No power supply is required. Suitable for undergraduate machine elements, tribology, and mechanical engineering laboratories, the FX-519 is supplied complete with all belt types, weight sets, thread, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-518 Coriolis Force Apparatus is a self-contained bench-top unit for the direct visualisation of the Coriolis effect in a rotating reference frame. A submersible pump mounted in a transparent water tank on a rotating arm projects a radial water jet at up to 2 L/min. When the arm is stationary the jet travels in a straight radial line; when the arm rotates at speeds up to 60 rpm, the jet deflects from this reference path in a direction and magnitude dependent on the rotation speed and direction — directly observable on the graduated scale on the tank. Reversing the rotation direction reverses the deflection, demonstrating the vector nature of the Coriolis force. A closed water circuit eliminates the need for an external supply, and a digital speed sensor confirms the arm rotation rate throughout the experiment. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate dynamics, rotational mechanics, and geophysics laboratories, the FX-518 requires only a standard power supply and is supplied complete with power cord and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-517 Work Done by Variable Force Apparatus is a bench-top mechanics unit that gives students a direct, measurable demonstration of the principle that work done by a variable force equals the area under the force-distance graph. Two experiment modes are supported: a vertical force mode in which a loaded trolley is lifted via a ball bearing pulley system as the effort load is increased, and a tangential force mode in which a pivoted arm is restrained at variable angles by a spring balance perpendicular to the arm. Both modes produce nonlinear force-distance relationships requiring graphical integration, with results comparable against theoretical potential energy change for energy balance verification. A spring balance (0–100 N, 0.5 N graduation) and integrated protractor scale support both modes without additional instrumentation. Suitable for undergraduate mechanics and energy methods laboratories, the FX-517 is supplied complete with spring balance, weight sets, hangers, pulleys, and thread. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-516 Polygon of Forces Apparatus is a self-contained bench-mounted statics unit for the experimental investigation and graphical verification of coplanar force equilibrium. Up to five calibrated loads are applied via pulleys clamped at adjustable angular positions around a circular disc fitted with a 360° protractor. Equilibrium is confirmed when a central ring centres over the disc’s central pin, and force lines are traced onto paper for construction of the triangle of forces, polygon of forces, or link polygon. Both concurrent and non-concurrent coplanar force systems can be investigated, including forces applied to a circular disc or rectangular lamina. A calibrated weight set with increments down to 0.1 N provides precise load variation. Suitable for undergraduate statics and applied mechanics laboratories, the FX-516 is supplied complete with five pulleys, five weight sets, ring, thread, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-515 Two Arm Lever Apparatus is a bench-top statics unit for the experimental study of moment equilibrium on a centrally pivoted beam. The 600 mm beam — mounted on precision ball bearings at its midpoint and graduated along its full length — provides two 300 mm lever arms on which three riders with hooks can be positioned at any scale point. Known weights are applied to each rider, and students adjust load positions and magnitudes to achieve rotational equilibrium, directly verifying the law of moments. The ball bearing pivot ensures high sensitivity to moment imbalance, making the unit suitable for precise quantitative experiments as well as introductory demonstrations. A comprehensive weight set covering 0.5 N to 5 N denominations supports a wide range of loading combinations. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-514 Forces in Truss Apparatus is a fully instrumented structural mechanics unit for the experimental measurement of bar forces in single-plane statically determinate trusses. Bars in six lengths — from 150 mm to 520 mm — are assembled using pin-jointed node discs within a rigid support frame, allowing three distinct truss configurations to be constructed. Each bar carries an individual strain gauge load cell, and all 12 channels are acquired simultaneously by the measurement amplifier and processed by dedicated LabVIEW-based DAQ software, which displays bar forces graphically in real time. A load application device (−500 to +500 N, 0.01 N graduation) applies a controlled external force at any node disc, and its position and direction can be varied to investigate load dependency. Measured results are compared directly against the method of joints and Ritter’s method of sections. All components are housed in a dedicated storage system. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-513 Fundamentals of Statics Apparatus is a modular, panel-based laboratory unit covering the essential principles of statics including force resolution, equilibrium, law of levers, moment determination, and pulley systems. The 600 x 700 mm upright panel features a 50 mm imprinted line grid, a writeable surface for erasable annotations, and an aluminium rail system for rapid attachment and reconfiguration of lever rods, pulleys, torque discs, pivot bearings, and cables. Integrated ball bearings at pivot mounts ensure low-friction rotation for accurate torque and moment experiments. Two spring balances, two weight sets, and two torque discs are included as standard. Three optional supplementary sets extend the programme to friction, pulley blocks, and gear wheels. Suitable for undergraduate statics and applied mechanics laboratory courses, the FX-513 is a long-term, multipurpose platform supplied complete with all mountings, thread, measuring tape, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-512 Forces in Simple Bar Structure Apparatus is a bench-top structural mechanics unit for the measurement and analysis of internal forces in a three-bar, pin-jointed roof truss. Three individual force gauges (0–100 N, 0.5 N graduation) measure compressive forces in the two fixed-length rafter bars and tensile force in the adjustable tie bar simultaneously under applied apex loading. The adjustable tie (440 / 622 / 762 mm) enables four distinct angle configurations — 60°-60°-60°, 45°-90°-45°, 30°-120°-30°, and 30°-30°-120° — allowing systematic investigation of how truss geometry affects force distribution. Quick-lock node disc connections allow rapid reconfiguration, and the aluminium base frame with integrated 1 m scale supports precise geometry recording for method of joints and graphical force polygon analysis. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate structural mechanics and civil and mechanical engineering laboratories, the FX-512 is supplied complete with bars, node discs, force gauges, weight set, measuring tape, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-511 Toggle Joint Apparatus is a bench-top mechanics unit for the experimental study of force distribution and reaction forces in a three-member toggle joint under applied vertical loading. The opening angle is continuously adjustable between 30° and 135°, and a mechanical spring balance (0–10 kg, 50 g graduation) measures the horizontal reaction force at the moveable end of the base member directly under load. Students resolve forces analytically at the toggle apex and compare calculated values against spring balance readings across a range of angle and load combinations, building a quantitative understanding of the force amplification behaviour characteristic of toggle mechanisms. The unit is of solid metal construction, requires no wall mounting, and is supplied complete with weight set, chain, measuring tape, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-510 Forces in a Jib Crane Apparatus is a wall-mounted structural mechanics unit for the experimental determination of compressive and tensile forces in a two-member crane structure. A force gauge integrated into the jib (0–100 N, 0.5 N graduation) and a spring balance integrated into the tie (0–10 kg, 50 g graduation) provide direct force readings under applied dead loads. Students compare measured results against theoretical values derived from the triangle of forces and polygon of forces methods, verifying static equilibrium principles in a physically clear and historically relevant structural form. Both the jib overhang and tie inclination are adjustable, enabling experiments across multiple geometric configurations. The unit folds flat when not in use and is supplied complete with weight set, hanger, chain, measuring tape, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-509 Friction on Inclined Plane Apparatus is a bench-mounted unit for the quantitative determination of static and dynamic friction coefficients across multiple material pairings. An 800 mm inclined plane, adjustable from 0° to 45° and fitted with a pointer and protractor scale, supports two experimental methods: the angle-of-sliding method for static friction and the tensile force method for dynamic friction. Four sample blocks — steel, polypropylene, aluminium, and brass — each measuring 80 x 60 x 22 mm, allow direct comparison of friction behaviour across different material combinations. A ball bearing-mounted deflection roller minimises pulley friction for accurate force transmission, and a graduated weight set with increments down to 0.1 N enables precise loading control. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate applied mechanics and mechanical engineering laboratories, the FX-509 is supplied complete with samples, weight set, thread, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-508 Conservation of Angular Momentum Apparatus is a bench-mounted demonstration unit that provides a clear, visually immediate illustration of angular momentum conservation in rotating systems. Two sliding dead weights are mounted symmetrically on a bearing-supported rotating arm and can be drawn radially inward or outward via a pull cord. When the arm is spun manually and the weights are pulled toward the centre, the reduction in moment of inertia produces a sharp, visible increase in rotational speed — directly demonstrating the conservation principle without any measurement instrumentation. The unit is intended for qualitative demonstration only and requires no power supply, making it quick to deploy in lecture theatres, laboratory induction sessions, and introductory mechanics practicals. Supplied complete with thread and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.
The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-507 Centrifugal Force Apparatus is a motorised, bench-top unit for the quantitative study of centrifugal force acting on rotating masses. Using three interchangeable masses (50 g, 75 g, 100 g) and five discrete path radii (25–125 mm), students can independently investigate the effect of mass, radius, and rotational speed on the centrifugal force generated. Force is measured electronically via a bending bar sensor with 0.01 N resolution over a 0–25 N range, and both force and speed are displayed simultaneously on the digital control panel. Speed is regulated continuously via a 10-turn potentiometer across a range of 0–400 rpm. A transparent protective cover encloses the rotating assembly during operation, and the free-standing design requires no bench fixings. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate rotational dynamics and mechanical engineering laboratories, the FX-507 is supplied complete with masses, protective cover, power cord, and instructional manual. Manufactured by SCIENTICO, available for institutional supply and international distribution.

The SCIENTICO FrixoDynamics FX-504 Centre of Gravity Apparatus enables students to experimentally determine the centre of gravity of six flat lamina shapes — circle, isosceles triangle, trapezium, L-shape, T-shape, and semi-circle — using the plumb bob method. Each lamina is suspended from a pin on a free-standing backboard, a plumb bob defines the vertical line of action of its weight, and the process is repeated from a second hole. The intersection of the resulting lines locates the CG, which is then compared against values from calculation or standard reference books. The experiment clearly demonstrates that for compound shapes such as the L and T sections, the CG may fall outside the physical boundary of the object — a result that is difficult to visualise analytically but immediately apparent through experiment. Designed for statics and solid mechanics laboratories, the FX-504 is supplied complete with six lamina samples, plumb bob, thread, and instructional manual.

The tension in each wire is read directly from integrated linear spring balances, and students verify that the resolved horizontal and vertical force components sum to zero under each applied load. The apparatus also supports investigation of the redundant vertical tie — introducing students to statical indeterminacy in a clear, measurable context. Wire lengths are individually adjustable via threaded rods, allowing accurate geometry setting before each experiment.

Results can be verified using the method of joints and graphical force resolution, giving students a three-way comparison between measurement, calculation, and graphics. The adjustable tie member and chain mechanism allow the truss geometry to be reconfigured across a wide range of angles, extending the experimental scope beyond a single configuration.
