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.
