Flat Belt Drive & Spanner

This model illustrates the principles of motion transmission over flat belts. The input shaft with its pulley drives a flat belt running over a tension roller (idler) and another pulley on a driven shaft with an indicator. Useful to show speeds and directions of rotation.

“Better one model in a student´s hand - than 50 models in an elegant cupboard” !
By using them this way, the handy models allow a fascinating approach to the laws
of classic mechanisms and machine elements to learn their classification,
motion changes, accelerations, torques etc...

Calculations of gear/pulley
ratios and dimensions, shaft distances, mating technical
drawings are only a few of the many interesting and valuable tasks provided by these superb models.

Using the wide array of components from the AUTOMAT Construction Kits System,
every creative designer can build his own special model machines in a fast and easy way - as both systems (AUTOMAT and COMPACT) use the same components.

In total the COMPACT Series represents an almost complete cross-section of the wide field of mechanics and gear technics which is constantly extended.
