Product Specification Sheet
Pulley Rod Mounting
Model Number: MTM-19
The Pulley Rod Mounting from Micro Technologies is a compact laboratory pulley assembly featuring a 50 mm plastic pulley with ball bearing, fitted to an aluminium boss with tapped holes and a clamping screw. It accommodates support rods up to 13 mm diameter and can be rotated on the rod to position the pulley flat or on edge, making it suitable for inclined plane and general mechanics experiments.
Product Specification
The Pulley Rod Mounting from Micro Technologies is designed for physics and mechanics laboratory experiments requiring a compact pulley that can be conveniently attached to a laboratory support rod. Its adjustable mounting arrangement makes it useful for a variety of force, motion and inclined-plane experimental setups.
The apparatus incorporates a 50 mm plastic pulley fitted with a ball bearing. The bearing-supported pulley provides smooth rotational movement when a cord passes over the wheel during an experiment.
The pulley is fitted to an aluminium boss, providing the primary mounting arrangement for attachment to a compatible laboratory rod. The boss incorporates tapped holes together with a clamping screw for secure positioning.
The mounting arrangement is designed to accommodate rods up to approximately 13 mm in diameter, making it suitable for use with compatible laboratory stands and support systems.
A particularly useful feature is the ability to rotate the pulley on the supporting rod. This enables the pulley to be positioned either flat or on edge according to the requirements of the experimental setup.
This adjustable orientation makes the apparatus especially useful for inclined plane experiments, where the direction of the cord needs to correspond with the angle and position of the experimental apparatus.
When mounted appropriately, the pulley can guide a cord between an object on an inclined plane and a suspended mass. This allows practical investigations involving force, load, friction, tension and motion.
The apparatus is also suitable for ordinary laboratory arrangements requiring a rod-mounted pulley. It can be incorporated into compatible force, mechanics and motion experiments without requiring a permanently fixed pulley support.
The clamping screw enables the pulley assembly to be positioned at a suitable height and orientation along the laboratory rod. Once the desired position has been established, the mounting can be secured for the experiment.
The 50 mm pulley diameter provides a compact configuration while remaining suitable for routine laboratory cords used in mechanics experiments.
The ball-bearing arrangement helps reduce rotational resistance compared with a simple unsupported axle arrangement, providing smoother pulley movement during suitable quantitative and demonstration experiments.
The Pulley Rod Mounting can be combined with compatible mass hangers, slotted masses, Spring Balances, inclined planes and laboratory stands to create a variety of mechanics experimental systems.
Its compact construction also simplifies storage when the apparatus is not in use, while the removable clamping arrangement enables it to be transferred between compatible laboratory setups.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Pulley Rod Mounting is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific facilities requiring an adjustable rod-mounted pulley for experimental applications.
