COUPLED DRIVES APPARATUS

A compact, bench-mounting apparatus designed to allow students at all academic levels to investigate basic and advanced principles of control including control of multi-variable systems.

The Coupled Drives apparatus shows the problems of controlling speed and tension in coupled drives. Many applications use coupled drives, for example: magnetic tape drives, textile machines and paper mills. The apparatus has two electric motors, coupled by a continuous flexible belt.

A manual control allows the user to adjust the spring tension at the swinging arm. Learn about COUPLED DRIVES APPARATUS for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes..
