Product Specification Sheet
Pulley Table Clamp
Model Number: MTM-23
The Pulley Table Clamp from Micro Technologies is a compact, low-cost laboratory pulley designed for simple machine and mechanics experiments. It features a rigid plastic sheave approximately 50 mm in diameter with a deep V-groove and a convenient table-clamping arrangement. The pulley can be attached to compatible surfaces up to 25 mm thick.
Product Specification
The Pulley Table Clamp from Micro Technologies is designed for physics and mechanics laboratory experiments requiring a simple pulley that can be mounted directly onto a table, board or compatible experimental surface.
The apparatus incorporates a rigid plastic sheave approximately 50 mm in diameter. Its compact pulley size makes it convenient for routine experiments involving cords, suspended masses and force systems.
A deep V-groove is incorporated into the pulley wheel. This groove provides a defined path for a compatible laboratory cord and helps maintain its position on the sheave during normal experimental movement.
The pulley is attached to an integrated table clamp, allowing the complete apparatus to be secured directly to the edge of a suitable working surface.
The clamping arrangement can accommodate surfaces up to approximately 25 mm thick. This makes the apparatus suitable for compatible laboratory tables, boards and experimental platforms.
Its direct mounting arrangement eliminates the need for a separate laboratory stand in many basic pulley experiments, providing a compact setup for mechanics practicals.
The apparatus is particularly useful for simple machine experiments, where students can investigate basic pulley action and the relationship between effort and load.
As a fixed pulley arrangement, it can be used to demonstrate how a pulley can alter the direction of an applied force. A cord can pass through the V-groove while a load and effort are applied at opposite ends.
The Pulley Table Clamp can also support experiments involving tension and suspended masses. Known masses may be connected to the cord to establish controlled loading conditions.
When combined with a compatible Spring Balance, the apparatus can be incorporated into suitable experiments for observing and comparing applied force or cord tension.
The clamp-mounted design is especially convenient when the experimental arrangement requires a cord to travel over the edge of a laboratory table to a vertically suspended mass.
It can also be used with compatible dynamics and mechanics apparatus where a horizontal pulling force needs to be redirected through approximately 90 degrees toward a hanging load.
The compact design makes the pulley easy to install, reposition and remove after an experiment. It also requires minimal storage space compared with larger stand-mounted pulley systems.
The Pulley Table Clamp can complement mass hangers, slotted masses, hook weights, Spring Balances and laboratory cords in a variety of introductory mechanics experiments.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Pulley Table Clamp is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific teaching facilities requiring a practical clamp-mounted pulley.
