Pivot

Description

The Pivot is a general purpose rotation device that allows you to mount it on a rod stand to perform rotation experiments in the horizontal or vertical planes.

This Pivot can be used two ways:
1 As a fulcrum in a meter stick torque balance: It can be mounted so the shaft is horizontal for use with the Meter Stick Torque to do torque experiments or to do pendulum experiments.
2 As a rotation device for rotational inertia experiments: It can be clamped on a horizontal or vertical rod. It can also be mounted with the shaft vertical so it can be used as a rotational base for the Rotational Inertia Set (ME-3420).
The Pivot has a 1/4-inch diameter shaft out both sides which rotates on two ball bearings. To record data, use with a Smart Gate (or any standard photogate) and pulley.
