Epicyclic Gear Train Holding Torque Apparatus
Product Code : EL-TOML-11029
The Epicyclic Gear Train Holding Torque Apparatus from Lab Exports is a motorised engineering lab setup designed to demonstrate the working of epicyclic (planetary) gear trains and to experimentally determine the relationship between input torque, holding torque and output torque. It is available in both external and internal gear train configurations, giving students a complete understanding of epicyclic gear behaviour.
Specifications
