Product Description

Linear Air track Kit

An extruded aluminium alloy track of square cross-section, length 1.2m, with two rows of air holes at equal spacing, supported by two light alloy feet. Each support has an adjustable knurled screw to facilitate track setting. Lateral and horizontal adjustments are made separately with the help of spirit level. Large catapult arms with slots for elastic bands are fitted to each and of the track. A pulley fitted to one end of the track enables experiments involving acceleration under a constant force. Identical moulded rubber and caps enable air to be introduced from either end of track. A bung is supplied to close the end of the track.

The kit comprises various accessories to facilitate the experiments detailed in the comprehensive instruction booklet supplied with it. Extruded alloy vehicles have been carefully designed to attain the optimum height of buffer attachments. Buffer attachments are located in holes and clamped by screws at each end of the vehicle. A vertical 4mm diameter hole in the center of each vehicle enables the rod to be used to indicate the positions of vehicles. The knurled screws, rubber and caps, catapult arms, pulley mounting vehicles, buffer attachments and clamping screws are finished in matt black.
