TecQuipment Static and Dynamic Balancing
The Static and Dynamic Balancing apparatus enables students to explore the principles of balancing rotating mass systems, both statically and dynamically. The test assembly is mounted on a sturdy base with flexible mounts and includes a balanced steel shaft on low-friction bearings. Students can attach rotating balance blocks with removable circular inserts to vary mass and moment, as well as an extension shaft and pulley with weights to measure moments accurately. A protractor and linear scale allow precise positioning and angle measurements. Dynamic tests are powered by an electric motor and belt, while flexible mounts reveal vibration due to imbalance. A transparent safety dome with interlock ensures safe operation during testing.
