Friction Disc Torque Arm
The Friction Disc Torque Arm is a crucial component in various mechanical systems, particularly those involving rotational motion and torque transmission. Its primary function is to convert the frictional force generated between two surfaces into a measurable torque output.
This arm typically consists of a lever-like structure with a friction disc attached at one end. When a force is applied to the friction disc, it creates friction against another surface, generating a rotational moment or torque on the arm. The magnitude of this torque is directly proportional to the applied force and the distance between the point of force application and the pivot point of the arm.
