Hooke’s Coupling Apparatus Model MT 061

Sci-tech Hook’s Coupling Apparatus Model MT 061 is a table model that demonstrates the transmission of angular motion to joint shafts, the related gimbal error and how this error can be recti􀁽ed using Hooke’s couplings. The model consists of two Hooke’s couplings that are connected by a split intermediate shaft. The detection angle of both joints can be set individually and read on the scales. Drive is achieved by turning a hand wheel. On the drive and power take-off sides there are further angle measuring scales made of transparent plastic with which the difference between the angles of the shafts can be determined.
