A bench mounted circular table with a central pin and 360º protractor has three pulleys on adjustable clamps round the edge.
The triangle of forces in equilibrium can be constructed and the resultant of two known forces can be found.
Conditions of equilibrium are obtained by centralising a small cord ring over the central pin with cords to load hangers where the loads and lines of action are variable.
ABS ASR Power Control System demonstration panel presents the working of the Automatic Brake Power System ABS and the Anti Slip Regulation System ASR in motor vehicles with the aid of a microprocessor controller.
The system allows measurement of the following signals:
The tension of four different rotational speed sensor
The characteristics of the tension from the sensors depending on the gap width for the specified rotation speed
The characteristics of the tension from the sensors depending on the rotational speed of the toothed ring.
The pressure value in the hydraulic circuits (in the brake master cylinder or after a correction made by the ABS/ASR system)
The depth of the amplitude modulation of the sensors signal being a result of the whipping of the toothed ring in the function of the gap width.
The controller can operate as a configurable PID controller and as a 2-point controller. In the latter case, as well as the setting of the reference variable, the hysteresis can also be pre-set. The recorder function provides continuous recording of controlled, manipulating and reference variables. The software ideally supports the experimentation and learning process of demonstration models. Its key features are the software controller and the recorder function. It plots responses to changes in the reference (e.g. step input) and disturbance variables. The controller included with each demonstration unit can also be used instead of the software controller. Measured values can be printed out and saved to data media. Connection to a PC is by a USB port. The supplied USB interface module provides an adequate number of analogue inputs and outputs, enabling even complex circuits, such as a cascade to be controlled. In this case, controlled, manipulating and reference variables can be plotted, displayed and saved by the program's recorder function.

Diaphragm Pump Learning System are used to transfer fluid that too viscous, corrosive, abrasive, or hot for other types of pumps, making it a perfect choice for moving food products such as peanut butter, ink for the print industry, and pulp, paper, and petroleum products. The Diaphragm Pump Learning System also explores how to adjust a diaphragm pump flow rate, how to select the right diaphragm pump for an application, and how to install, maintain, disassemble, and troubleshoot a diaphragm pump. The Diaphragm Pump Learning System explains the function, operation, application, and variety of diaphragm pumps.
The Diaphragm Pump Learning System features a foot-mounted, air-operated diaphragm pump, air regulator, air lubricator, pressure gauge, air muffler, and piping network. Peristaltic pumps, also known as tubing pumps, are used to transfer fluids that cannot come into contact with the working parts of the pump, either to avoid contamination of the fluid or because the fluid is too corrosive. These industrial-grade components will help to familiarize learners with actual mechanisms they work with on the job. This commitment to providing high quality components is why is the worlds leader in skills-based, interactive technical learning. After completion, learners can proceed to additional pumps like the Peristaltic Pump and Piston Pump. Piston pumps, also known as plunger pumps, are used to produce high pressure fluid flow of water, soaps and detergents.

A gravity-driven dram brings the solvent containing the extracted compound back to A, thereby allowing closed loop operations long enough to achieve the desired extraction. The Multifunctional Extraction Plant system is made up by a reservoir A where the extracting solvent is loaded; the solvent is then vaporized by means of an electrical heater. The system is manufactured in borosilicate glass which allows it to be used with any kind of solvent. It is assembled on anticorrosion metal structure. The vapors in column B undergo partial rectification; the pure solvent vapors are subsequently condensed in C and the liquid eventually reaches the extractor D which contains the phase from which the compound has to be extracted.

The operation of these level sensing devices can readily be investigated since they may be removed from the Demonstration Unit, dismantled and re-assembled, without the attendant problems which would occur on an operational boiler. The simulated boiler itself is constructed from a clear acrylic tank and thus the demonstration unit provides a clear visual appreciation of the operating characteristics of the various level controls i.e. float operated magnetic, reed or electronic system using electrode sensors. An arrangement of up to date integrated circuits is used to simulate boiler pressure and burner control together with the sensing and control systems associated with modern boiler systems. A Boiler Water Gauge is fitted to the Boiler Drum so that possible misuse of this item can be demonstrated clearly and safely. This Gauge can also be used to demonstrate the method of changing a sight glass for such a gauge under simulated working conditions, a circumstance which can be safely taught on this Demonstration Unit. These systems would not normally all be fitted in the same boiler but are included in this unit to give the student an appreciation of the characteristics of each system. Conversion of water from the boiler into steam is simulated so that the level sensors need to operate as in a true Boiler system.
