About This Product
The dial gauge lets students plot follower displacement against cam position, and running the system at different speeds reveals the jump speed. Within the THEORY OF MACHINE LAB, the apparatus also shows how weight and spring force affect jump speed, and a stroboscope, not supplied, can make the jump visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which cams and followers are included?
Eccentric, tangent and circular arc cams, and mushroom, flat faced and roller followers, one of each.
Q2. How is the jump speed found?
By operating the system at different speeds; a tachometer to measure it can be supplied extra, and a stroboscope (not supplied) helps visualise the jump.
