Apparatus For Determination Of Gear Efficiency- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
This benchtop unit represents
a complete test set-up for the investigation of the mechanical
efficiency of gears. The unit consists of the electronically regulated
drive unit, which is included, and a magnetic brake. The constant
braking effect can be very finely adjusted, it can thus be used as a
definable load. A two stage spur gear unit and a worm gear unit form the
basis of the experiments. Both gearboxes are commercially available
industrial components. Their characteristics are matched to the
performance of the drive unit. The components are installed on a sturdy
frame made of aluminium section, this facilitates rapid and easy changes
to the set-up.
