CRANK AND CONNECTING ROD APPARATUS

A bench top unit comprising a sturdy base plate that can be mounted vertically (for demonstration) or flat (for experimental use). A large rotating protractor scale crank rotates on a shaft and bearing arrangement, with varying radius positions for locating the crankshaft. A slider (piston) runs in a slide housing with a linear scale for accurate displacement readings. Learn about CRANK AND CONNECTING ROD APPARATUS manufacturers for optimal educational outcomes.. The crank pin can be fixed at various radii across the input disc, and three positions on the crankshaft allow adjustment of stroke length. Incremental angular movement of the protractor is recorded alongside corresponding slider displacement. Learn about CRANK AND CONNECTING ROD APPARATUS equipment for optimal educational outcomes..
