The GUNT SE 110.50 - Cable Under Dead-Weight enables the study of free-hanging cables and ropes under the influence of their own weight. This experiment demonstrates the behavior of load-bearing cables in structures such as suspension bridges and overhead power lines, providing practical insights into cable sag and tension under dead-weight conditions.
Product Features
- Investigates free-hanging cable behavior under its own dead-weight
- Roller chain mounted on two ball bearing-supported chain wheels
- Chain wheel units fixed to a cross-arm with adjustable horizontal and vertical spacing
- Weights can be attached to both ends of the chain for load variation
- Maximum sag measured using scaled rules and compared with calculated values
- Demonstrates catenary shape and actual applied cable forces
- All components clearly laid out and securely housed in a storage system
- Complete experimental setup arranged in frame SE 112 for stability and usability
Benefits
- Provides practical understanding of cable behavior under dead-weight
- Supports learning of structural mechanics for suspension bridges and overhead lines
- Enables comparison of theoretical calculations with experimental measurements
- Ideal for civil, mechanical, and structural engineering education and training
