Description:
A bench mounted enclosure contains all the electronics and safety guard for this apparatus.
On top is a shaft running in bearings. The shaft can carry up to four balance masses (non-coplanar). Each mass can be easily adjusted for imbalance by its radius, linear and angular position. Linear and angular scales ensure accurate positioning of each mass. A set of 12 balance masses are provided of varying mass, and each one has a thin alignment slot produced.
Experimental Content:
- Static balancing of non-coplanar masses
- Dynamic balancing of non-coplanar masses
- Comparison between theoretical and actual results
- Use of vector diagrams, vector resolution, resultant forces, moment polygons and turning moments
Technical Specification:
- Speed controlled motor shaft: 0-1400rpm
- Balance mass radius: 30-70mm
- Balance masses: 50, 75, 100g
- Linear adjustment: Scale in millimetres
- Angular adjustment: 360°, 1° resolution
