Action of Cams
Bar Breaking Apparatus
Description
To show the forces which can be exerted during thermal expansion or contraction. Comprising a heavy cast iron frame 340x120x100mm with slotted end pillars to carry a stout iron bar. The bar is threaded at one end for a large tensioning nut and has holes at the other end to accommodate the cast iron breaking bars. Supplied complete with ten breaking bars.
Demonstration Dynamo
Description
This model uses the same basic assembly as the motor, but is mounted on a baseplate 230 x 90 mm approx. which also carries a hand-drive pulley 120mm. diameter coupled to the smaller dynamo pulley by a rubber belt to give a step-up ration. Electrical output is via a pair of 4mm sockets. The model may also be used as a motor on a 6-8 V D.C. supply.
Demonstration Electric Motor
Description
A model of the simplest form of D.C. electric motor, having 2-pole armature wound with enamelled copper wire and a permanent magnetic field provided by a removable bar magnet. A disc-type commutator is incorporated and external connection to the phosphor-bronze bushes is by means of a pair of 4 mm. sockets. The motor will operates on 6-8 Volts D.C.
Demonstration Gear Model System
Description
A series of models to demonstrate different gearing systems. With transparent slideplates, the gears may easily be seen and where necessary there is an index on the primary and secondary shafts to show the change in the direction of rotation and the relative speed of rotation. A simple three-speed and reverse-gear system using spur gears. Reverse gear is obtained by interposing a small lay-shaft mounted pinion between the two main shafts. Gear selection is by means of a short ball-ended lever.
Fly-Wheel Unit
Description
For use with a large motor/generator and a lamp unit to demonstrate the conversion of electrical energy to kinetic energy and then back again. Comprising an iron flywheel, mounted in cast brackets with bearings. The shaft has an aluminium 'V' pulley for driving with the spring belt supplied.
Four Stroke Petrol Engine Model
Description
Represents internal structure and operating principles of an air cooled two-stroke engine. All parts in aluminium alloy. Ignition is shown by means of a miniature bulb. Carburetter and fuel supply also sectioned. Mounted on base with printed diagram showing working. Two-Stroke Petrol Engine Four-Stroke Petrol Engine are also available.
Gas Turbine/Turbojet Engine
Lamp Unit, Triple
Line Shaft Unit
Description
For showing the conversion from electrical energy via mechanical, to potential energy by winding up a weight on a cord. One end of the 6mm. steel shaft carries an aluminium 'V' pulley 56 mm. diameter, and the other end is fitted with a cord anchoring collar. Supplied complete with driving belt.
Mechanical Training Model
Description
Highly useful for demonstrating the most fundamental and frequently used mechanism. Very useful for engineering students. All the components are made of high degree of precision. These modules are assembled on transparent perspex sheets to facilitate teaching. Easy to assemble or disassemble.
Millikan’s Oil Drop Apparatus
Spring Unit of Mechanical Model
Description
For showing potential energy in a wound-up spring and its conversion to electrical energy by driving a dynamo and lighting a lamp. May also be used to wind up a weight on a cord showing the change from potential energy to kinetic and back to potential in the raised weight. The steel shaft carries a clock spring with a free wheel device and winding ratchet, also an aluminium 'V' pulley 56 mm. diameter. One end of the shaft overhangs the base for use as line shaft when winding up a weight. Dimensions 220 x 100 x 100 mm. high Supplied complete with driving belt.
