Mechanisms Fundamentals

This set of equipment covers the needs of students studying gears, cranks, different shapes of cam and drive systems integrated with universal joint using chain/belt transmission system.’ Students use the storable work panel (included) to construct a range of experiments, which allow you to study a full course in Mechanisms. A full 10 hour workbook is included free of charge in the Learning Centre for this kit.
