HFC31 Combined Shear Force & Bending Moment Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Mechanical Training Equipment
Description This compact bench top unit allows the observation and analysis of bothShear Force and Bending Moment within one unit. A rigid, aluminiumbeam is cut into two unequal lengths, creating a ‘cut’ section. Eachbeam is then simply supported on vertical supports. Each support canbe moved along the beam section length creating varied supportpositions. At the ‘cut’ section, a deep groove ball bearing in one beamruns within a block in the other beam. This allows for both verticalmovement (shear) and rotation (bending) to occur. The Shear Force ismeasured using a vertical analogue spring balance. A second analoguespring balance measures the direct load created in the beam ‘cut’section and it’s associated mechanical moment lever arm set acrossthe ‘cut’ section allows the bending moment to be calculated. SpecialLoad hangers are provided that fit over the beams. The Load hangerscan be positioned accurately along the beams length by using thegraduated scales attached to the side of the beams. The smooth designof the beam sections allows a wide variety of unrestricted load positionsto be used along the beam lengths, using the weights set provided. Features TWO experiments in ONE Bending and Shear in one Apparatus. Visually realistic, 'cut' beam. Unrestricted loading positons. Load position at 'cut' in beam. Experiment can be undertaken from both sides. Quickly and easily setup.
