Description
This
high quality example of a steel worm and phosphor bronze wheel is built
on a substantial wall mounted base. Both worm and wheel have integral
cord drums with cords and load hangers to provide torque. The velocity
ratio of 15:1 is achieved by a two start worm.
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.
