Large Pulley with Universal Clamp
Model Number: MTM-24
The Large Pulley with Universal Clamp from Micro Technologies is a versatile laboratory pulley assembly featuring a 70 mm diameter plastic pulley mounted on a metal clamp. Its universal mounting arrangement allows attachment to a bench up to 38 mm thick or a support rod up to 13 mm diameter, making it suitable for force, tension, motion and simple-machine experiments.
Product Specification
The Large Pulley with Universal Clamp from Micro Technologies is designed for physics and mechanics laboratory experiments requiring a conveniently adjustable pulley that can be mounted on different types of laboratory supports.
The apparatus incorporates a large plastic pulley approximately 70 mm in diameter. The larger wheel provides a convenient cord path for a variety of mechanics experiments involving suspended loads, tension and force transmission.
The pulley is mounted on a metal clamp assembly, providing a practical and stable supporting arrangement during experimental use.
A key feature of the apparatus is its universal clamping configuration. Unlike pulleys intended only for bench-edge mounting, this model can be installed on either a suitable laboratory bench or a compatible support rod.
For bench-mounted experiments, the clamp can accommodate a surface up to approximately 38 mm thick. This allows the apparatus to be positioned conveniently at the edge of many laboratory benches and experimental platforms.
The same mounting arrangement can also be attached to a support rod up to approximately 13 mm in diameter. This provides additional flexibility when the pulley needs to be positioned at a particular height or orientation within a laboratory stand setup.
The universal mounting capability makes the apparatus useful for a broad range of force, motion, tension and pulley experiments without requiring separate pulley units for different support arrangements.
As a fixed pulley, it can be used to demonstrate how a pulley changes the direction of an applied force. A cord can be passed over the pulley with a load connected at one end and an effort applied at the other.
The apparatus is also suitable for suspended-load experiments using compatible mass hangers, slotted masses or hooked weights. Different loads can be applied to investigate changes in force and system behaviour.
When combined with a compatible Spring Balance, the pulley can be used in experimental arrangements for comparing applied effort, load and cord tension.
Its support-rod mounting capability makes the pulley useful in more flexible mechanics setups where the height and location of the wheel must be adjusted relative to other apparatus.
The bench-clamp arrangement is particularly convenient for experiments where a cord travels horizontally across a working surface before passing over the pulley to a vertically suspended load.
The apparatus can also be incorporated into suitable simple machine and mechanical advantage demonstrations, either independently or together with additional pulley components.
Its straightforward mechanical configuration requires no electrical power and allows the apparatus to be quickly installed, repositioned and removed according to laboratory requirements.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Large Pulley with Universal Clamp is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific teaching facilities requiring a flexible clamp-mounted pulley system.

FAQs
What is a Large Pulley with Universal Clamp used for?
It is used for force, tension, motion, suspended-load and simple-machine experiments in physics and mechanics laboratories.
What is the diameter of the pulley?
The plastic pulley has an approximate diameter of 70 mm.
What material is the pulley made from?
The pulley wheel is made from plastic and is mounted on a metal clamp assembly.
Why is it called a Universal Clamp Pulley?
Its mounting arrangement allows the apparatus to be attached to either a laboratory bench or a compatible support rod, providing greater setup flexibility.
What bench thickness can the clamp accommodate?
The pulley can be clamped to a suitable bench or supporting surface up to approximately 38 mm thick.
What size support rod can be used?
The clamp can be attached to a compatible support rod up to approximately 13 mm in diameter.
Can it be used as a fixed pulley?
Yes. The apparatus can be used as a fixed pulley in suitable force, load and simple-machine experiments.
Can it be used with hanging masses?
Yes. Compatible mass hangers, slotted masses or hooked weights can be connected through a suitable cord for suspended-load experiments.
Can it be used with a Spring Balance?
Yes. A compatible Spring Balance can be incorporated into suitable setups for studying effort, force and tension.
Is a separate laboratory stand always required?
No. The universal clamp can be attached directly to a suitable bench. A support stand is only required when the rod-mounting configuration is preferred.
