Battery Powered Acceleration Timer
Model Number: MTM-85
The Battery Powered Acceleration Timer from Micro Technologies is a compact motion-recording apparatus designed to produce 50 marks per second for dynamics, velocity and acceleration experiments. The MT-10548 operates using a 1.5 V motor, features a two D-cell battery compartment, adjustable striker mechanism and ring-stand mounting arrangement, and is supplied with 43 mm carbon discs and paper tape measuring approximately 15 mm × 30 m.
Product Specification
The Battery Powered Acceleration Timer from Micro Technologies is designed for practical investigations of motion where a regularly timed physical record is required for subsequent measurement and analysis. Its battery-powered configuration makes it particularly convenient for laboratory setups where connection to an external electrical supply is undesirable.
The MT-10548 is designed to produce approximately 50 marks per second, providing closely spaced and consistent timing points on a moving paper tape. Since each mark corresponds to a known time interval, the recorded pattern can be analyzed to investigate displacement, velocity and acceleration.
A 1.5 V motor operates the timer mechanism. Power is provided through a battery compartment designed to accommodate two D-cell batteries, allowing the apparatus to operate independently of a mains power source.
The timer incorporates a striker mechanism acting against an aluminium plate, producing the required marking action through a carbon disc. As the paper tape passes through the mechanism, a sequence of timed marks is generated.
The striker mechanism is designed to produce improved dot definition on the ticker tape, allowing the recorded positions to be more easily identified during subsequent measurements.
An adjustable striker is provided so that the marking arrangement can be set appropriately for experimental use. The apparatus also incorporates a ring-stand attachment, enabling it to be secured to a compatible laboratory support system.
The MT-10548 is particularly useful for dynamic experiments involving carts, falling masses, inclined-plane arrangements and other moving bodies. Analysis of the resulting ticker tape can help determine changes in velocity and acceleration over time.
The apparatus is supplied with 43 mm diameter carbon discs and a paper tape roll approximately 15 mm wide × 30 m long, providing the basic consumables required for repeated experimental operation.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Battery Powered Acceleration Timer is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories, dynamics laboratories, research facilities and other experimental motion-analysis applications.
