Additional Mechanisms Kit

Product Description

Description:

This kit offers additional mechanisms, supplementary tothose of the Simple Mechanisms Kit. Students, teachers or lecturers fit theparts of the kit to the Work Panel to study or demonstrate an engineeringscience topic. This kit includes two popular mechanisms for experiments inconversion of motion from one form to another. These include the Genevamechanism and a ratchet mechanism. Students test each mechanism to see how itworks and note the differences in the way that each mechanism converts themotion. The two mechanisms are the same as those used in real applications,such CNC machines, hand tools, turnstiles and lifting hoists. Each has a uniqueway of converting motion, shown by the experiments.
