Designed for flexible bench-top experiments, the Pulley Adjustable Tabletop Clamp provides a stable and adjustable pulley arrangement for studying force, tension, motion, and simple machine principles. It is especially useful where pulley height and direction need to be changed according to the experimental setup.
The apparatus includes a 50 mm low-friction pulley mounted on a sturdy metal clamp with a 15 cm support rod. The pulley assembly can be adjusted vertically over a 10 cm range and rotated through 360°, allowing accurate alignment of the cord in different directions.
The strong tabletop clamp securely fits laboratory benches up to 38 mm thick, making it suitable for regular use in schools, colleges, universities, and educational physics laboratories.
