Description
The U-Shaped Photogate with Support Rod, General Purpose, also known as an IEC Photo Gate or LED beam timing gate, is designed for detecting when an object breaks a beam of red LED light. The photogate is useful for many motion and timing measurements, including speed, acceleration, transit time and event detection in physics laboratory experiments. Objects pass through the U-shaped gate and interrupt the LED beam, allowing a compatible electronic timer to detect the event and record the required measurement.
The photogate requires 12 V AC or DC to run the LED as listed. Compatible IEC electronic timers can respond to the photogate signal for classroom timing experiments. Adaptors are available to allow standard gates to click onto the edges of compatible IEC Air Tracks, enabling gliders to pass through the beam during low-friction motion experiments.
Users should confirm timer compatibility, cable type, plug type, power supply requirement, support rod size and Air Track adaptor requirement before ordering or use. Do not connect the photogate to incompatible power supplies, mains voltage or unknown timer inputs. Avoid staring directly into the red LED beam at close range, and keep the gate, cable and support rod secure during moving-object experiments.
This product is intended for laboratory or educational settings only and should be used under appropriate supervision. This item is supplied as the selected U-shaped photogate with support rod only. Timer, Genius timer, cables, power supply, Air Track adaptors, Air Track, gliders, stands, clamps, worksheets, PPE and additional timing accessories are not included unless specified separately.
LabChoice Australia supplies Photogates and physics timing equipment for school science laboratories, university teaching laboratories and educational facilities requiring practical apparatus for motion, speed and acceleration experiments.
