The GUNT Centrifugal Governor Experimental Unit illustrates the operational principles of centrifugal governors used to control machine speed. By harnessing centrifugal force, the unit allows hands-on study of how rotating flyweight masses influence energy regulation through mechanical deflection. Both weight- and spring-based governor types are demonstrated in a safe, controlled setup.
Product Features
- Demonstrates the effect of centrifugal force on speed control through mechanical governors.
- Explains two types of governors: weight-based and spring-based mechanisms.
- Electronically controlled motor with continuously adjustable speed.
- Digital display for real-time monitoring of rotational speed.
- Governors easily inserted into a drive chuck for rapid switching between governor types.
- Adjustable centrifugal masses, sleeve forces, and spring preload using included accessories.
- Stroke measurement available via shaft markings for accurate observation of deflection.
- Transparent safety cover ensures secure operation and prevents accidental contact during experiments.
