The GUNT Kinematic Model Crank Mechanism is designed to demonstrate the mechanical conversion of rotational motion into reciprocating motion, or vice versa. Crank mechanisms are commonly found in engines, pumps, and presses, making this unit an essential tool for teaching and understanding motion conversion.
Product Features
- Demonstrates conversion of rotational motion into reciprocating motion and vice versa
- Used for educational demonstration of crank mechanisms found in engines, pumps, and presses
- Includes crank disk, connecting rod, and cylinder to model real-world crank mechanism operation
- Connecting rod is attached to the crank disk via a crank with three adjustable crank radius positions
- Opposite end of the connecting rod is connected to the cylinder to model piston movement
- Pivoting cylinder can be blocked using a screw to demonstrate fixed or oscillating cylinder modes
- Crank disk includes an angle scale integrated into the base plate for accurate angular adjustment
- Millimetre-precise steel ruler attached to the cylinder for accurate stroke measurement
- All components are mounted on a base plate for stability
- Two handles on the base plate provide easy portability and stackability of the unit
Benefits
- Provides clear visual understanding of crank-piston motion conversion
- Adjustable crank radius enhances learning through hands-on experimentation
- Dual demonstration modes (fixed and oscillating cylinder) support various educational scenarios
- Precision measurement tools enable accurate data collection during experiments
- Compact, portable design ideal for classroom and laboratory use
