Hand Wheel Driven Unit
Model Number: MT-1068
The Hand Wheel Driven Unit from Micro Technologies is a manually operated laboratory drive apparatus designed to provide controlled rotary mechanical motion for compatible experimental setups. The MT-1068 incorporates a large hand wheel, drive mechanism, horizontal shaft arrangement and rigid base, allowing rotational motion to be produced without an electric motor.
Product Specification
The Hand Wheel Driven Unit from Micro Technologies is designed as a manual mechanical drive arrangement for laboratory experiments requiring controlled rotational motion. Its hand-operated configuration allows the user to directly generate and regulate rotary movement according to the requirements of a compatible experimental setup.
The MT-1068 incorporates a prominent hand wheel mounted on a rigid supporting base. Rotating the wheel manually transfers mechanical motion through the associated drive arrangement to the horizontal shaft.
The large wheel provides convenient manual operation and enables the user to observe the relationship between hand input, rotary motion and mechanical transmission. Rotation can be started, slowed or stopped directly by the operator, making the unit particularly suitable for demonstrations where controlled movement is desirable.
A horizontal shaft arrangement provides a mechanical output point for compatible laboratory apparatus. Depending on the experimental configuration, the unit can be coupled with suitable accessories or demonstration equipment requiring manual rotary input.
The apparatus is useful for introducing concepts related to rotational motion and mechanical drive systems. It provides a straightforward physical example of how rotary input can be transmitted from one mechanical element to another.
The wheel arrangement can also help demonstrate the practical effect of wheel diameter on manual operation. A larger wheel provides a convenient grip and allows relatively smooth rotational input during laboratory demonstrations.
Because the unit is manually driven, the rotational speed is determined by the user's input rather than by a fixed-speed electric motor. This provides flexibility for experiments requiring slow or progressively changing rotation.
The open construction allows the principal mechanical components to remain visible during operation. This makes it easier to observe the movement of the wheel, shaft and associated drive elements while the apparatus is being used.
The rigid base supports the mechanism and helps maintain alignment during manual operation. Bench-top construction also makes the unit convenient for integration into compatible physics laboratory setups.
The MT-1068 does not require an electrical supply for basic operation. This makes it useful where a simple, manually controlled mechanical drive source is preferred.
The unit can complement suitable apparatus involving rotational motion, mechanical transmission and manually driven experimental systems, subject to mechanical compatibility with the required setup.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Hand Wheel Driven Unit is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific demonstration facilities requiring a compact manual rotary drive arrangement.

FAQs
What is a Hand Wheel Driven Unit used for?
It is used to provide manually controlled rotary mechanical motion for compatible laboratory experiments and demonstration apparatus.
What is the Micro Technologies model number?
The Micro Technologies model number is MT-1068.
How is the unit operated?
The apparatus is operated by manually rotating the large hand wheel, which transfers rotary motion through the mechanical drive arrangement.
Does the unit have a horizontal shaft?
Yes. The illustrated configuration incorporates a horizontal shaft arrangement for transmitting rotary mechanical motion.
Can the rotational speed be controlled?
Yes. Because the unit is manually operated, the user can vary the rotational speed by changing the speed at which the hand wheel is turned.
Can it be connected to other laboratory apparatus?
