Technical Specifications:

• Demonstrate the characteristics of a spur gear, bevel gear and a worm drive
• Flexible and modular, fit onto the work panel for experiments and classroom demonstrations
• In a hard-wearing storage tray with molded insert to hold parts securely and a graphical list to help check the kit contents
• Rugged and durable parts for safe ‘hands-on’ experiments, allowing better understanding
• Accordance with the latest European Union directives
• This kit include a selection of different gears for experiments to find their unique characteristics
• The gears include a spur gear, a bevel gear and a worm drive
• The spur gears have two sets of teeth on the same shaft, allowing extra experiments in compound gear trains
• Students be able to test each set of gears to see how it works and note the differences in characteristics (such as efficiency, gear ratio and mechanical advantage) of each set
• The gear sets be a selection of the most common sets similar to those used in real applications, such as automobile gear boxes, domestic and industrial hand tools and clockwork instruments
• The kit should introduce students to key engineering terms such as gear ratio, efficiency, mechanical advantage and velocity ratio
• Experiments to be Performed:
• Characteristics of spur gears, including single and compound gear trains & the ‘idler’ gear, characteristics of a bevel gear and characteristics of a worm drive
• Main parts: Four spur gears of different teeth ratio, worm drive set, bevel gear set and weight hangers & weights

Work panel (01 No.):

• Perfect size for experiments & should fit on any standard desk or bench top
• Digital copy of all teaching material needed for the full Engineering Science range
• Users be able to fit the parts of their kit to the Work Panel to study or demonstrate an engineering science topic
• Stable and multi-positional – to be used in many different ways to suit the experiments or demonstrations
• Solid, thick perforated metal plate for long life and choice of fixing positions for the experiments
• Simple thumbscrews for safe, quick and easy assembly
• Accordance with the latest European Union directives
• Assembled size in Portrait: 550 mm high x 380 mm wide and 280 front to back (approx.)
• Assembled size in Landscape: 450 mm high x 480 mm wide and 280 front to back (approx.)
