Product Specification Sheet
Single Pulley – Bench Mounting
Model Number: MTM-22
The Single Pulley – Bench Mounting from Micro Technologies is a compact laboratory pulley apparatus featuring a 50 mm diameter aluminium pulley mounted in a metal frame. The integrated clamping arrangement allows the apparatus to be securely attached to a laboratory board or benchtop up to 25 mm thick, making it suitable for force, tension, motion and general mechanics experiments.
Product Specification
The Single Pulley – Bench Mounting from Micro Technologies is designed for physics and mechanics laboratory experiments requiring a simple and conveniently mounted pulley arrangement. Its bench-clamping configuration provides a stable setup for experiments involving suspended loads, force, tension and motion.
The apparatus incorporates a single aluminium pulley approximately 50 mm in diameter. The pulley provides a suitable path for laboratory cord during experimental investigations.
The pulley is mounted within a metal frame, providing structural support and maintaining its position during routine laboratory use.
An integrated clamping arrangement allows the complete apparatus to be attached directly to the edge of a laboratory board or benchtop. This eliminates the need for a separate stand in many basic pulley experiments.
The clamp is designed to accommodate supporting surfaces up to approximately 25 mm thick. This makes the apparatus convenient for use with compatible laboratory benches, boards and experimental platforms.
As a single fixed-pulley arrangement, the apparatus is useful for demonstrating how a pulley can change the direction of an applied force. A cord can be passed over the pulley with an effort applied at one end and a load connected at the other.
The apparatus can also be used to investigate tension in a cord when compatible masses and force-measuring instruments are incorporated into the setup.
For quantitative experiments, known laboratory masses may be suspended from the cord while a compatible Spring Balance measures the applied force or tension.
The bench-mounted configuration is particularly convenient when an experiment requires a cord to travel from a horizontal working surface over the pulley to a vertically suspended load.
The Single Pulley can also support introductory investigations of load, effort and mechanical advantage, providing a practical demonstration of basic simple-machine concepts.
Its compact design enables the pulley to be quickly installed, repositioned and removed from a compatible bench according to laboratory requirements.
The apparatus can complement other mechanics accessories including mass hangers, slotted masses, hook weights, cords and Spring Balances to create complete experimental arrangements.
The straightforward mechanical configuration requires no electrical supply, making it suitable for routine laboratory demonstrations and repeated student practicals.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Single Pulley – Bench Mounting is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific facilities requiring a compact bench-mounted pulley for mechanics experiments.
