Portal Frame Unit Model MT 052

Sci-tech Portal Frame Unit Model MT 052 has been designed to determine the deflection at the load point for a rectangular portal frame subjected to horizontal and vertical loads. The system is formed by a frame attached to a rigid base and loads can be applied by mass hangers and a range of   masses or weights. The horizontal and vertical deflections of the frame can be measured by means of dial gauges.

Size: 110cm x 50cm x 95cm (LxWxH)
Weight: 15 kg
