Lever Mechanisms
CRANK-AND-ROCKER
DRIVE
4Z4-012 Type: Lever Mechanism
Drive illustrates conversion of rotation into oscillation using a four-bar linkage.
Crank-operated driving shaft and driven shaft (with indicator) coupled by floating link,
length of which is adjustable. Center distance between shafts also adjustable. Useful in
studying speed relationships and effect of dimensional changes on motion characteristics
of a non-uniform motion drive. Price: $43.89
DRAG LINKAGE
4Z4-020 Type: Lever Mechanism
Mechanism illustrates conversion of continuous rotation into continuous, non-uniform
rotation by means of a four-bar linkage. Center distance and length of coupler link
adjustable. Unit useful in studying speed relationships and method of construction
permitting unobstructed movement of linkage. Price: $38.68
OSCILLATING TURNING-BLOCK LINKAGE
4Z4-021
Type: Lever Machanism
Drive illustrates conversion of rotation into oscillation by means of a crank driving
an eccentric, slotted link. Eccentricity is adjustable. Device useful in studying speed
variation and effect of eccentricity on motion characteristics of drive. Price: $43.89
CRANK-AND-SLOT
DRIVE
4Z4-030 Type: Lever Mechanism
Drive illustrates conversion of continuous rotation into continuous rotation with a
varying speed ratio. Pin on drive crank engaged eccentric, slotted link, impairing
variable speed. Eccentricity is adjustable. Indicator on output shaft assists in studying
speed variation and effect of eccentricity on motion of drive. Price: $38.68
PARALLEL CRANK DRIVE
4Z4-046 Type: Lever Mechanism
Drive illustrates the simultaneous drive of three cranks to keep the rotation of
the driven shafts in step with the driving shaft. Indicators on all shafts are useful in
studying the velocity and directions of rotation. Price: $52.27
EPICYCLIC GEAR-SLIDER MECHANISM
4Z4-047
Type: Lever Mechanism
This mechanism, frequently called "Watt's Epicyclic Gear Drive", consists of
a 30 tooth planet gear riding externally on a 54 tooth sun gear. The motion of the planet
is coupled by connecting rod to the slider. Study of the displacement of the slider is
aided by a linear scale mounted on the unit. Price: $54.36
SCOTCH YOKE DRIVE
4Z4-051 Type: Lever Mechanism
Drive illustrates one of a class of drives which convert rotary motion into
reciprocating motion. The output motion of the slider is harmonic and therefore this drive
is frequently employed when it is necessary to generate the sine function of the angle of
the crank in mechanical systems. Price: $41.82
SLANTED SCOTCH YOKE DRIVE
4Z4-052 Type:
Lever Mechanism
Drive when used in conjunction with #51 illustrates the increased displacement of
the slide when the slot of the scotch yoke is at an angle with the axis of the slider. As
in #51, the motion of the slider describes the function of the sine of the driving crank
angle. Price: $41.82
COMPACT TOOL KIT
4Z4-0ST
Five piece kit consisting of two screw drives and three wrenches. Price: $12.95
