Advanced Mechanisms Laboratory Station

Advanced Mechanisms Laboratory Station

• Deal mechanisms.
• Determination of the ideal configuration and the corresponding transmitted forces and couples.
• Real mechanisms.
• Effect of friction on the operation of mechanisms ; study of kinematic constraints, reversibility, efficiency.
• Experiments are carried out on a range of standard links, and displacement transducers mounted on the supporting plate, permit measurements of displacements and transmitted forces and couples.
• The innovative unit is designed for an in-depth experimental three-dimensional study of mechanisms.
• A range of standard links is supplied. These are mounted on a plate equipped with six strain gauge displacement transducers which measure the applied loads. Comprehensive software for a compatible PC micro computer is supplied for data acquisition and display of forces and couples and plate displacements.
• Signals are processed using the Strain Bridge and the acquisition board.

Technical specifications

• Standard equipment including a kit of links (5 shafts and 4 hubs) and the loading system with the mass.
• Complementary equipment for studding of simple and mixed links in serial or parallel.
• Complementary loading system hang for studding of multi directional mechanical actions.
• Complementary equipment for studding of friction phenomena.

• 300 x 300 mm - 9 kg.

Essential requirements

• Strain bridge.
• PC computer with MS DOS (the software is on MS DOS and exist only in a French version).
• Free ISA slot on the computer available.
