Geared System Apparatus- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Geared System Apparatus- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
This unit consists of a 3-stage spur
gear unit with 4 shafts. One and two stage gear units can thus also be
realised. Each shaft can be equipped with an additional flywheel mass to
increase the angular inertia. The gears are driven using a cable drum
and a variable set of weights that are lifted using a removable crank.
Unwinding is prevented by a safety catch, a clamping roller freewheeling
hub prevents undesired coiling of the cable. The weight is arrested by a
receptacle with an impact attenuating insert. A hand brake facilitates
gentle braking. The transparent protective cover prevents unintentional
contact with the rotating parts. All four shafts are fitted with
inductive sensors for measuring the speed. A chart recorder is used to
record speed-time diagrams from which the angular acceleration can read.
