Product Specification
The Balance Lever Arm Apparatus from Micro Technologies is designed for practical laboratory investigations involving the fundamental principles of levers, moments, forces, and mechanical equilibrium. Its mechanical arrangement provides a convenient method for applying and comparing forces at different positions relative to a pivot.
The MT-1187 incorporates a lever arm supported around a pivot arrangement. A graduated scale associated with the lever allows the position of an applied force or load to be observed during suitable experimental investigations.
A load pan is incorporated into the apparatus for the placement of suitable masses. By changing the applied load or its effective position relative to the pivot, different force and moment conditions can be established and compared.
The apparatus is particularly useful for investigating the principle of moments, where rotational effects produced by forces acting at different distances from a pivot can be compared. Suitable experiments can be performed to establish conditions for rotational equilibrium.
The Balance Lever Arm can also support investigations involving clockwise and anticlockwise moments, lever arms, mechanical advantage, force-distance relationships, and static equilibrium.
Its visible mechanical configuration allows the positions of the lever, pivot, load, and scale to be observed during experiments. This makes the apparatus suitable for quantitative laboratory investigations where force and distance measurements need to be related.
The rigid supporting arrangement helps maintain the experimental components in position, while the adjustable mechanical configuration allows different loading conditions to be established according to the experiment.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Balance Lever Arm Apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories, engineering laboratories, research facilities, and other environments conducting force, moment, and equilibrium experiments.
