Sectional Steam Engine Model
Model Number: MT-1244
The Sectional Steam Engine Model from Micro Technologies is a mechanical demonstration model designed to provide clear visualization of the internal construction, piston movement, connecting-rod action, crankshaft rotation and flywheel operation of a reciprocating steam engine. The MT-1244 features an exposed sectional arrangement mounted on a stable base for convenient observation of the complete motion-conversion mechanism.
Product Specification
The Sectional Steam Engine Model from Micro Technologies is designed for detailed mechanical demonstration of the internal arrangement and motion of a reciprocating steam engine. Its sectional construction exposes the principal operating components, allowing their relative positions and movements to be clearly observed.
The MT-1244 features a horizontally arranged cylinder and piston mechanism connected to an elongated mechanical linkage. The sectional configuration provides direct visual access to components that would normally remain enclosed inside an operating steam engine.
Movement of the piston produces a reciprocating action that is transmitted through the connecting mechanism to the crank. This arrangement demonstrates how linear reciprocating motion is converted into rotary motion.
A prominent flywheel is incorporated at one end of the model. Rotation of the mechanism demonstrates the relationship between piston movement, crank position and flywheel motion throughout the operating sequence.
The exposed connecting rod and crank arrangement provides a practical representation of one of the fundamental mechanisms used in reciprocating engines. The model is therefore useful for examining piston displacement, connecting-rod movement, crank rotation and flywheel action.
The sectional design also allows different stages of the mechanical cycle to be observed at a convenient speed. This is particularly useful for demonstrations where the relationship between internal components needs to be examined more closely than would be possible with a fully enclosed engine.
Unlike a live steam-engine apparatus, the MT-1244 is primarily intended as a sectional mechanical demonstration model, making it convenient for repeated laboratory observation without requiring steam generation for basic mechanism studies.
The complete mechanism is mounted on a rigid bench-top base that maintains component alignment and provides stable positioning during demonstrations.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Sectional Steam Engine Model is suitable for mechanical engineering laboratories, thermal engineering laboratories, steam-power laboratories, engineering training facilities, research laboratories and industrial technical demonstration applications.
