Epicyclic Gear Train Apparatus Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Epicyclic Gear Train Apparatus.
Epicyclic Gear Train Apparatus
The trainer consists of an Epcyclic gear box coupled to a variable speed
electric motor. Other end of the gear train is coupled to a brake drum
for measurement of transmitted torque. One more spring balance is used
to measure holding torque of the epicyclic gear train. Measuring
instruments are provided for measurement of Power supplied to the motor,
torque transmitted & speed.
