Triple Pulley on Rod
Model Number: MTM-20
The Triple Pulley on Rod from Micro Technologies is a compact mechanics laboratory accessory featuring a three-step pulley wheel mounted on a supporting bracket with an extended rod. The multiple pulley diameters allow cords to be positioned at different effective radii, making the apparatus suitable for force, tension, torque, mechanical advantage and rotational mechanics experiments.
Product Specification
The Triple Pulley on Rod from Micro Technologies is designed for physics and mechanics laboratory experiments requiring a multi-step pulley arrangement that can be conveniently incorporated into compatible laboratory support systems.
The apparatus features a triple stepped pulley, providing three pulley sections of different effective diameters on a common axis. This arrangement allows different cord positions and effective radii to be selected according to the requirements of an experiment.
A rigid supporting bracket holds the pulley assembly and maintains its position during rotation. The bracket is connected to an extended mounting rod, providing a convenient arrangement for integration with compatible laboratory stands and experimental setups.
The stepped configuration makes the apparatus useful for investigating how the radius of application influences turning effect or torque. A force applied through a cord at different pulley radii can produce different moments about the rotational axis.
The apparatus can therefore support practical demonstrations involving the relationship Torque = Force × Perpendicular Distance, helping connect force magnitude with its distance from the axis of rotation.
The Triple Pulley on Rod is also useful for experiments involving tension and suspended loads. A cord can be routed around an appropriate pulley step and connected to compatible masses or force-measuring apparatus.
Using different pulley diameters allows the experimental geometry to be changed without replacing the entire pulley assembly. This provides a convenient way to compare mechanical effects under different radius conditions.
The pulley may also be incorporated into suitable mechanical advantage and rotational mechanics experiments, depending on the overall laboratory setup and associated apparatus.
Its rod-mounted configuration makes it particularly convenient for modular laboratory systems. The apparatus can be positioned with compatible stands, clamps and supports to create different experimental arrangements.
The multiple grooves help keep cords located at the selected pulley radius during suitable experiments. Correct cord alignment should be maintained to minimize unwanted lateral forces on the pulley.
For quantitative experiments, known masses or compatible Spring Balances may be used to provide or measure applied forces. The resulting behaviour can then be compared for different pulley steps.
The compact construction makes the apparatus convenient for routine handling and storage while providing multiple pulley radii within a single laboratory accessory.
The Triple Pulley on Rod can complement other mechanics equipment such as mass sets, Spring Balances, laboratory stands, cords and force apparatus for broader experimental investigations.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Triple Pulley on Rod is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific facilities requiring a compact multi-step pulley for force and rotational mechanics experiments.
