Description
The
apparatus consists of an identical Hooke's coupling at each end of a
shaft. The axis of each coupling can be independently varied relative to
the main shaft axis. Each coupling has a pointer and protractor scale
so that the angular difference between the input and output shafts can
be determined for a range of shaft angular positions. A wide variety of
angular settings for single or double couplings is possible.
The couplings are mounted on a free standing pressed steel base.
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
