Slip and Creep Measurement Apparatus
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-7335
The Slip and Creep Measurement Apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-7335) is a belt drive test unit for measuring the power transmitted at different input conditions and belt tensions, and the slip and creep of the belt. JaincoLab manufactures this slip and creep measurement apparatus for theory of machines practicals in mechanical engineering colleges and polytechnics, where students plot slip characteristics and find the coefficient of friction between pulley and belt materials.
Specifications
A variable-speed motor drives two pulleys of equal diameter on the input and output shafts; the driven pulley slides on the base with its bearing block to set the belt tension, a brake drum on the output shaft loads the drive, and a double-channel digital indicator shows both pulley speeds.

Experiments on the slip and creep measurement apparatus
The slip and creep measurement apparatus turns belt drive theory into measurements: students vary tension, load and speed and record how much power the belt transmits and how much it slips, as required in the belt drives part of theory of machines.
- Measuring the coefficient of friction between the pulley material and different belt materials
- Measuring percentage slip at fixed belt tension while varying the brake load, and plotting (T1 - T2) against percentage slip
- Measuring power transmitted with varied belt tension
- Studying creep of the belt
- Measuring belt slip speed and the limiting load at constant speed when slip just starts

Frequently asked questions
What does the apparatus measure?
Power transmitted at different belt tensions, belt slip and creep, slip speed and the coefficient of friction between pulley and belt materials.
How is belt tension changed?
The driven pulley slides on the base with its bearing block, which changes the initial tension in the belt.
How are the pulley speeds read?
A double-channel digital speed indicator shows the driving and driven pulley speeds; a stroboscope is optional.
