Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor (Local Stock)

Product Code: PS-3220-LS

Description

The Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor measures angle, angular velocity, and angular acceleration, as well as their linear equivalents. The included three-step pulley allows different torques to be applied, rotating a rigid system at different rates of acceleration. The included rod-mounting holes let you orient the sensor for different experiments. The Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor connects directly to your devices via Bluetooth or USB.


Applications

  • Conservation of Angular Momentum
  • Rotational Inertia
  • Centripetal Acceleration
  • Torque

1 Minimum # of data points with all measurements enabled, actual results depend on enabled measurements.

2 Continuous use in a connected state until battery failure, actual results will depend on sample rate, active measurements, and battery condition.

3 Logging until battery failure, actual results will depend on sample rate, active measurements, and battery condition.

* Normal classroom use is the sensor in active use for 20min/lab for 120 lab periods/yr.
