Description
The
apparatus consists of a rotating circular table on a vertical shaft. A
variety of end pivots can be attached to the lower end of the shaft.
The
unit rotates on an interchangeable seating selected to match the core
angle of the pivot. Pure torsion is applied to the table through a pair
of diametrically opposite loaded cords and pulleys. The thrust on the
bearing can be varied by adding weights to the table.
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.
