The GUNT Centrifugal Force Experimental Unit studies centrifugal forces generated by a rigid body in circular motion. The unit features a rotating arm on a vertical axis with adjustable masses that can be positioned to vary the orbital radius. The centrifugal force is transmitted to a bending beam, and its deformation is measured electronically and displayed digitally.
Product Features
- Centrifugal force acts away from the centre of rotation, balanced by centripetal force of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
- Used to study centrifugal forces under various conditions relevant to rotating machinery such as turbines.
- Rotating arm with vertical rotation axis and three different masses that can be positioned to set orbital radius.
- Centrifugal force transferred to a bending beam; force-proportional deformation detected by an electronic measuring system.
- Digital display of deformation and continuously adjustable drive motor speed.
- Transparent protective cover ensures safety; operation only possible when cover is attached.
Benefits
- Enables practical study of centrifugal and centripetal forces in rotating systems.
- Adjustable masses and radius allow for a wide range of experimental scenarios.
- Accurate electronic measurement and digital display enhance experiment precision.
- Safety features protect users during operation.
