Friction Board

The Friction Board is a valuable educational tool designed to demonstrate the fundamental principles of friction, force, and motion in physics laboratories. Ideal for schools, colleges, and training institutes, this apparatus helps students clearly understand how different surfaces and angles affect frictional forces. Built with a sturdy, smooth incline plane, the board allows easy adjustment of angle to perform experiments on static and kinetic friction.

Crafted from durable, high-quality materials, the Friction Board ensures long-term use even in busy lab environments. It typically comes with interchangeable surface strips—such as wood, metal, sandpaper, or plastic—so learners can compare frictional behavior across various textures. The apparatus also supports experiments using sliding blocks, weights, and spring balances to measure limiting friction and coefficient of friction.

Product Information :-

Friction board is a common tool used in educational and scientific settings to demonstrate principles of friction and motion. It typically consists of a flat surface where objects can be placed to measure how friction affects their movement. Below is a detailed explanation of how to design and use a friction board, ideal for both understanding and teaching the concept of friction.

It comprises a wooden friction board 480 x 75 x 18 mm, a wooden slider with hook 140 x 70 x 18 mm, a plain aluminium slider and an aluminium slider with rubber backing, an additional long aluminium slider is provided which fits over the friction board to provide an alternative surface type.

Features:-

• High-Quality Wooden Base: Durable, polished wooden board ensuring stability and long-lasting performance during experiments.
• Adjustable Inclination Angle: Smooth, easy-to-operate mechanism to vary the angle for studying friction at different slopes.
• Non-Slip Surface: Special textured surface to accurately demonstrate static and kinetic friction concepts.
• Sturdy Support Stand: Robust stand provides firm support to maintain any selected angle without slipping.
• Easy to Use & Maintain: Simple setup with minimal maintenance required, making it perfect for routine laboratory activities.
