Plastic Pulley – Single, Double & Triple
Model Number: MT-1289
The Plastic Pulley – Single, Double & Triple from Micro Technologies is a lightweight laboratory pulley range designed for practical experiments involving force, tension, load, effort and mechanical advantage. Available in single, double and triple configurations, these pulleys are suitable for constructing simple, movable and compound pulley arrangements in physics and mechanics laboratories.
Product Specification
The Plastic Pulley – Single, Double & Triple from Micro Technologies is designed for educational physics and mechanics laboratory experiments involving pulley systems, simple machines, forces and suspended loads. Its lightweight construction makes the pulleys convenient to handle, install and rearrange during practical laboratory sessions.
Available in single, double and triple configurations, the range enables laboratories to conduct experiments of varying complexity using compatible cords, masses and support arrangements.
The Single Plastic Pulley incorporates one pulley wheel and is suitable for introductory demonstrations of fixed and movable pulley systems. It can be used to demonstrate changes in force direction and basic load-effort relationships.
The Double Plastic Pulley incorporates two pulley wheels and can be used in suitable compound arrangements for studying mechanical advantage and multiple supporting cord sections.
The Triple Plastic Pulley provides three pulley wheels, making it suitable for more advanced compound pulley and block-and-tackle demonstrations where multiple cord paths are required.
These pulley configurations help students investigate fundamental mechanics concepts such as load, effort, tension and mechanical advantage through direct experimental observation.
When used with compatible laboratory masses, different loads can be suspended from the pulley arrangement. The applied effort can then be compared with the load to investigate the performance of different pulley configurations.
The pulleys can also be combined with a compatible Spring Balance to measure effort or tension during quantitative experiments.
For simple-machine studies, students can compare single and multiple pulley arrangements and observe how changing the number of supporting cord sections affects the effort required to support a given load.
Double and triple pulley configurations can be incorporated into suitable block-and-tackle systems, providing a practical demonstration of compound pulley operation.
The lightweight plastic construction makes the pulleys convenient for repeated educational use and easy to transport between laboratory workstations.
Their modular nature allows individual pulley types to be selected according to the experiment rather than requiring a permanently assembled system.
Plastic Pulleys can be used alongside slotted masses, hooked masses, mass hangers, S-hooks, cords, Spring Balances and laboratory stands to create complete mechanics experimental setups.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Plastic Pulley range is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and educational institutions requiring versatile pulley components for practical teaching.
