- Description
Description
The Simple Wheel and Axle Pulley Set, also known as a wheel and axle mechanical ratio apparatus, is designed for studying pulley behaviour, rotational motion and mechanical advantage in school physics laboratories, university teaching laboratories and supervised mechanics demonstrations. The apparatus consists of two pulleys fixed together as one unit. The pulley diameters are 150 mm and 75 mm, allowing students to compare how different radii affect effort, load and turning behaviour.
Both pulleys are made from very strong 5-ply timber and are sealed against moisture. This construction provides a practical classroom format for repeated educational use in mechanics experiments. A central bearing allows the pulley set to rotate freely on a strong 10 mm diameter rod. This supports smooth rotation during demonstrations where cords and weights are used to investigate force relationships. By winding cords around each pulley diameter and applying compatible weights, students can observe how radius affects the balance between effort and load. This makes the apparatus useful for teaching mechanical ratios, torque, pulley systems and wheel and axle principles.
The dual-diameter arrangement also supports demonstrations similar to double pulley ratio studies. Students can compare movement, load effect and force balance in a clear, hands-on way. This apparatus is intended for laboratory and educational use under appropriate supervision. Users should select compatible cords, weights, supports and mounting arrangements according to the experiment, and ensure that all parts are secure before applying load.
LabChoice Australia supplies Simple Wheel and Axle Pulley Sets for school physics departments, university teaching laboratories, mechanics classrooms and educational demonstration workspaces. They are suitable for supervised experiments covering mechanical advantage, pulley ratios, wheel and axle principles, effort, load and rotational mechanics.
