Acceleration of Geared Systems Apparatus Model MT 059

Sci-tech Acceleration of Geared Systems Apparatus Model MT 059 basically consists of three shafts, each mounted on ball races and connected by gearing.

A flywheel is attached to one of the shafts.

The discs having varying mass moments of inertia can be attached to the other two shafts.

It permits to change the gear ratios. Gears of suitable sizes are provided.

A torque drum is mounted in each shaft and by means of masses or weights, attached to one of the drums with a cord, allow a way to apply a torque to the system.

The acceleration of the system can be calculated.

Manuals: This unit is supplied with the following manuals: Required Services, Assembly and Installation, Starting-up, Safety, Maintenance and Practices Manuals.

In order to carry out some of the practices with Sci-tech Acceleration of Geared Systems Apparatus Model MT 059, 1 set of weights is required.

Size: 90cm x 60cm x 95cm (LxWxH)
Weight: 35 kg
