The GUNT Principle of Gear Units trainer demonstrates the function and structure of various gear transmission elements including belt drives, friction wheels, and gear drives. It illustrates fundamental concepts such as transmission ratio, direction of rotation changes, pitch, module, and intermediate gear functions, making complex gear mechanics easy to understand.
Product Features
- Gears are machine elements classified as transmission or conversion elements responsible for transferring torque and speed between guiding members such as wheels or pulleys.
- Motion transfer occurs via non-positive connections (gears, friction wheels) or positive connections (gears, toothed belts, chains).
- The experimental unit illustrates the function and structure of belt drives, friction wheels, and gear drives.
- Fundamental concepts such as transmission ratio, change of direction of rotation, pitch, module, and intermediate gear function are clearly explained.
- Sturdy anodised aluminium frame forms the base of the unit.
- Bearings of the wheels are attached to the frame by clamping levers in T-grooves for easy detachment and horizontal movement, enabling a variety of setups.
- All experiments are powered by hand, providing hands-on learning without external power.
- The size of the unit ensures experiments are clearly visible for larger groups of students.
Benefits
- Clear visualization of gear unit functions for effective teaching and learning.
- Flexible experimental setups facilitate exploration of diverse gear transmission scenarios.
- Durable construction ensures long-term use in educational environments.
- Hand-powered mechanism promotes hands-on learning without the need for power sources.
- Designed for group instruction with clear visibility of gear interactions.
