The GUNT Torsional Vibrations Unit enables detailed study of torsional oscillations by using torsion bars of varying lengths and diameters with interchangeable rotating masses, allowing precise observation of restoring moments and oscillation periods.
Product Features
- Demonstrates torsional vibrations where a restoring moment is generated by twisting a bar in the oscillating system
- Restoring moment acts to return the rotating mass to its equilibrium position
- Allows study of torsional vibrations using torsion bars with different diameters and lengths
- Top end of torsion bars clamped in a quick-action chuck
- Bottom end fitted with a solid circular disk or a circular ring—same mass and diameter, but different moments of inertia
- Components fixed using quick-action chucks for easy assembly
- Oscillation period can be measured precisely for comparison
- Torsion bars are easy to exchange and their length can be adjusted
- Designed for stable wall mounting
Benefits
- Hands-on investigation of torsional vibration principles
- Clear comparison between mass geometries and moments of inertia
- Quick setup changes support multiple test conditions in one session
- Ideal for engineering education and mechanics labs
