Range of Experiments
To determine the loci of the moving parts of the standard mechanism
To establish the characteristics of that mechanism: for example to see
which links move faster than othes or whether a particular motion (such
as a straight line) is developed
Description
One of sixteen mechanisms built on an A3 board equally suitable for the
classroom, drawing office or laboratory. The principal components are
made from amber coloured Perspex, pivoted with hollow rivets, and
mounted on a white melamine board for contrast and visibility. To see
the mechanisms move is far more instructive and convincing than
listening to a static lecture. The hollow rivets accept a pencil for
transferring the loci of the joints to a sheet of paper, clipped to the
board.
The apparatus enables three cycloidal curves and an involute locus to be
drawn. A point on the circumference of a circle is traced as the circle
rolls along a straight line, the outside of a circular arc or the
inside of a circle. The involute is generated by the locus of the end
point of a straight line unwrapping itself from a cylinder.
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.
Each mechanism is supplied with a manual which gives full instructions
for producing the loci and applications of the assembly. The typical
graphical result is appended.
