Some machines need friction to operate. Brakes, grinders, traction wheels, and others all rely on friction to work. In other cases, friction is bad. electric and fuel-fired powerplants for example, are all designed so as to minimize friction. That's why the lubricant industry exists!

What is machines that experiences friction called?

Machines that experience friction are simply called frictional machines or machines subject to friction. Frictional forces resist the motion or relative motion of surfaces in contact, causing resistance and heat generation in the process.

What machines use friction to work?

Some examples of machines that use friction to work include car brakes, clutches, and sanding machines. In each of these cases, friction is harnessed to slow down or stop movement or to increase the grip between two surfaces.


How can we reduce friction in different machines?

Friction in machines can be reduced by using lubricants, such as oils or greases, between moving parts to create a smooth surface. Using materials with low friction coefficients can also help minimize friction in machines. Proper maintenance and regular cleaning of machine parts can prevent build-up or debris that may increase friction.


Do the six simple machines react to friction?

Yes, the six simple machines (lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge, and screw) all interact with friction to some extent. Friction can affect the efficiency and performance of these machines by reducing their mechanical advantage and energy transfer. Some machines are designed to minimize friction, while others rely on it for proper functioning.
