The GUNT Equilibrium of Moments on a Differential Pulley Block demonstrates how pulley diameter affects torque and lifting force. With three pulleys of varying diameters mounted on a ball-bearing-supported shaft, this wall-mounted unit allows for precise exploration of moment equilibrium through variable weight loading.
Product Features
- Demonstrates equilibrium conditions on a differential pulley block
- Three pulleys of different diameters mounted on a single steel shaft
- Shaft supported by ball bearings for smooth, low-friction operation
- Forces applied by hanging weights on cables simulating real-world lifting mechanics
- Lifting force acts directly on the largest pulley and indirectly via a loose roller on the smaller pulley
- Forces are adjustable to achieve moment equilibrium across pulleys
- Wall-mounted design ideal for space-saving educational environments
Benefits
- Teaches the relationship between torque, pulley size, and lifting force
- Enables hands-on exploration of moment equilibrium in mechanical systems
- Supports visual and practical understanding of differential pulley mechanics
- Ideal for engineering, mechanics, and vocational training in statics and lifting systems
Why Choose the GUNT Equilibrium of Moments on a Differential Pulley Block?
This unit provides a focused investigation into the mechanics of lifting systems using differential pulleys. With smooth operation and adjustable loading, it enables learners to clearly understand torque and equilibrium relationships essential for mechanical and structural analysis.
