Gear Trains Apparatus- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Gear Trains Apparatus Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Features
Low cost effective basic level teaching
Self-contained
Bench or wall mounted
Drawer to hold unused parts
Four gears
Simple, compound, epicyclic trains
Many combinations of gear ratios
Determination of velocity ratio
Three year warranty
Range of Experiments
To
show that for a single spur gear train, the ratio of the speeds of the
driver and driven wheels are inversely proportional to the ratio of the
number of teeth
To verify that intermediate gears have no effect on the velocity ratio
To establish the sense of rotation of a gear train with one or more intermediate wheels
To verify that for a compound gear train the velocity ratio depends on the ratio of teeth on the intermediate wheel
To investigate the velocity ratio of epicyclic gear trains
Description
Four
spur gears of different numbers of teeth can be arranged in many
combinations of single and compound gear trains. Additionally the
mounting arm can be rotated as part of an epicyclic gear train.
The base is fitted with a drawer to house all gears, pins and spacers not in use.
This
equipment is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and
experimentally confirm basic engineering principles. Great care has been
given to each item so as to provide wide experimental scope without
unduly complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus
is self-contained and compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all
measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so
that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles
being taught. A complete instruction manual is provided describing the
apparatus, its application, experimental procedure and typical test
results.
