    The paper is devoted to investigate the limit of some kinetic equations with strong force. Due to the friction, the solution concentrates to a monokinetic distribution so as to keep the total of force bounded and in the limit a macroscopic system arises. This kind of asymptotics is a natural question when the mass of the particles is very small or their inertia is neglected. After that the author studied the properties of the limit system and especially the uniqueness of solutions which provides the full convergence of the family of solutions to the kinetic equation.
