SPECIFICATION

  • This versatile kit is part of that allows many experiments using different arrangements of their parts Students teachers or lectures fit the parts of the kit to the work panel to study or show an engineering science topic.
  • This kit includes a crank 
  • It also includes four popular cam shapes to show their different characteristics. Another set of part in the kit shows the characteristics of a mechanical toggle. Students fit the crank and slider with weights and a spring balance to see the change in linear and rotational forces(moments) as the crank turns.
  • They also use the slider with different followers on a set of four popular shape cams heart, gear, spiral & round.
  • This gives several cam and follower combinations to help students understand the different characteristics of each cam and why engineers choose between them for different applications.
  • The last set of parts in the kit has a simple linkage that allows students to see the characteristics of a toggle mechanism.
  • Its shows the relative force and angular conditions of the toggle in its initial state and how they affect the point at which it locks or 'snaps' into a horizontal state.
  • The kit introduces students to key engineering terms such as a 'flat follower' , a 'roller follower and toggle action.
