SpectraQuest introduces the Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines (KDT) Series
2013/8/2 17:18:39
♦Uniquely designed apparatus to enhance learning
♦Visually illustrates the kinematics and dynamics principles of a typical machine
♦Integrated turnkey systems with complete set of instrumentation, sensors and software ♦Bench top devices for hands-on controlled experiments and demonstrations ♦Validate theoretical concepts by comparing experimental results with the computer simulation of the theory ♦Can be incorporated with the current curriculum ♦Various application specific option kits and combination packages are available Press Release,November 5, 2013 SpectraQuest introduces a series of devices specifically focused to enhance learning of
kinematics and dynamics principles of a typical machine. Each apparatus is designed to visua
lly illustrate sometimes elusive concepts to expedite learning. The KDT clearly brings classical theory to life by providing a convenient mean to validate predictions and to demonstrate the influence of parameter changes on system response visually. We also offer a set of instrumentations including sensors, data acquisition hardware, analysis and simulation software, and training manual to go along with applicable product. The associated equations are solved graphically and are animated in the software. A set of instrumentation is provided with each apparatus that allows performing actual experiments and verifying those results with the simulation, thereby reinforcing the learning difficult principles. It is an ideal tool for kinematics and dynamics courses both at under graduate and graduate levels. These devices are grouped as Kinematics and Dynamics according to the applications and associated demonstration.
The following devices are offered in the Kinematics series:
![]()
- Geneva Mechanism
- Rachet Pawl Mechanism
- Scoth Yoke Mechanism
- Universal Joint Demonstrator
- Slider Crank Quick Return Mechanism
- Four Bar Linkage
- Cam/Follower Mechanism
The following devices are offered in the Dynamics series:
- Gyroscope
- Centrifugal Force Demonstrator
- Flywheel Apparatus
- Centrifugal Governor
It also comes with a training book and complete operations manual & videos to assist with exercises and learning. The KDT is available in various combination packages providing all the components necessary for a turnkey training system.
