Product Specification Sheet
Clamp Style Pulley
Model Number: MTM-26
The Clamp Style Pulley from Micro Technologies is a low-friction laboratory pulley mounted in a convenient clamping arrangement for direct attachment to a table or bench. Designed to fit compatible tables up to approximately 2 inches (50 mm) thick, it provides a practical setup for force, tension, motion, hanging-mass and general mechanics experiments.
Product Specification
The Clamp Style Pulley from Micro Technologies is designed for physics and mechanics laboratory applications requiring a convenient pulley that can be securely attached to the edge of a laboratory table or experimental platform.
The apparatus features a low-friction pulley mounted within a clamp-style supporting arrangement. The low-friction configuration facilitates smooth pulley movement during experiments involving cords, loads and applied forces.
Its integrated clamp eliminates the need for a separate support stand in many routine laboratory setups. The complete pulley can be positioned directly at the edge of a compatible table or bench.
The clamping mechanism is designed to fit tables up to approximately 2 inches (50 mm) thick, providing compatibility with a range of laboratory work surfaces.
Once mounted, a suitable laboratory cord can be passed over the pulley to connect experimental loads, masses or force-measuring devices.
The apparatus is particularly useful in force and motion experiments, where a horizontally moving object may be connected through the pulley to a vertically suspended mass.
It can also be used for tension investigations, allowing the behaviour of a cord under different loading conditions to be observed using suitable laboratory equipment.
In experiments involving Newton's laws, the pulley may form part of an arrangement in which a hanging mass produces a pulling force on another object. Different masses can be used to investigate relationships between force, mass and acceleration.
The Clamp Style Pulley is also useful for introductory simple machine experiments, helping demonstrate the basic function of a fixed pulley and the redirection of an applied force.
When combined with a compatible Spring Balance, the apparatus can support practical comparisons between applied force, suspended load and cord tension.
The table-mounted configuration provides a convenient transition between horizontal and vertical cord directions, making the apparatus useful with dynamics equipment and other mechanics setups.
The adjustable clamp enables the apparatus to be installed and removed without permanent attachment to the laboratory bench, allowing it to be shared between different experimental stations.
Its compact design also simplifies handling and storage when the apparatus is not in use.
The pulley can complement slotted masses, hooked masses, mass hangers, cords, Spring Balances and other mechanics laboratory accessories.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Clamp Style Pulley is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and educational scientific facilities requiring a compact low-friction pulley arrangement.

FAQs
What is a Clamp Style Pulley used for?
It is used for force, tension, motion, hanging-mass and simple-machine experiments in physics and mechanics laboratories.
What type of pulley mechanism is provided?
The apparatus incorporates a low-friction pulley arrangement designed for smooth movement during suitable laboratory experiments.
How is the pulley mounted?
It is mounted using an integrated clamp-style mechanism that attaches directly to a compatible laboratory table or bench.
What is the maximum table thickness supported?
The clamp is designed to fit tables up to approximately 2 inches or 50 mm thick.
Can it be used for Newton's laws experiments?
Yes. It can form part of suitable experimental setups investigating relationships between force, mass, motion and acceleration.
Can the pulley be used with hanging masses?
Yes. Compatible mass hangers, slotted masses or hooked masses can be connected using suitable laboratory cord.
Can it be used with a Spring Balance?
Yes. A compatible Spring Balance can be incorporated into suitable setups for force and tension investigations.
Does the pulley require a separate laboratory stand?
For normal table-mounted experiments, a separate stand is generally unnecessary because the apparatus clamps directly to the laboratory surface.
Is the clamp permanently attached to the table?
No. The clamp arrangement allows the pulley to be installed, repositioned and removed as required.
Is it suitable for simple machine experiments?
Yes. It can be used to demonstrate basic fixed-pulley operation, including force redirection and load-effort relationships.
