Crank Mechanism - Simple Machines Series

Crank Mechanism - Simple Machines Series

The crank mechanism (a variant of the wheel and axle – converting rotary motion into reciprocating motion) is one of 12 functioning experimental models in our Simple Machines Series. Like all simple machines, it can be used to demonstrate the gain in force, calculate it, and find practical applications. After all, crank mechanisms are found in steam engines (steam locomotive), car engine pistons...

For this experimental model, an accompanying manual with theoretical discussion and ready-made worksheets for teachers and students (separate!) are included:

1. Practical applications.
2. Operating principles.

All simple machines in this series are made from a friendly material – wood. Dimensions: 39 x 7 x 15 cm. Weight: 1 kg.

This teaching aid may seem so simple? That's good! Because this is a MODEL OF A SIMPLE MACHINE!

We will see simple machines everywhere around us, including in very complex devices. We'll even find them inside ourselves... All you need to do is extend your arm and bend it at the elbow.

Experiment with our simple machines - we include detailed worksheets for teachers and students.

Demonstrate serious formulas in practice! Only such learning makes sense.

The Simple Machines Series includes 12 models of simple machines - 6 basic and 6 complex - designed for practical experimentation of their operation, illustrating the gain in force achieved through using a given machine, and also for calculating this gain based on specific machine settings in the form of our model.
