Gearbox Apparatus | ProDynami – 1362
The Gearbox Apparatus ProDynami – 1362 uses an ‘H’ style gear change mechanism mounted on a sturdy wall mounted frame. This Gearbox Apparatus features three forward gears and one reverse, with gears of 20, 26, 52, and 39 teeth at module 1. It includes reversible input and output shafts, protractors for angular measurement, and transparent safety guards. Load-bearing pulleys and a full weight set support hands-on velocity and torque ratio experiments.
The Gearbox Apparatus ProDynami – 1362 uses a sturdy wall mounted frame to house all the gears, shafts, bearings, and levers contained within it. This Gearbox Apparatus features an ‘H’ style change with gear change lever and knob, allowing use of different gears within the system. It is hand operated with input and output pulleys that allow loads to be applied for lifting and lowering.
Product Overview
A sturdy wall mounted frame houses all the gears, shafts, bearings, and levers contained within this apparatus. An ‘H’ style change with gear change lever and knob allows the use of the different gears within the system. All gears run on shafts fitted into bearings, and the changing mechanism ensures smooth transition. The gears are industry standard gears finished in high quality and mesh together in different ratios within the frame.
Gears can be slid across each other by the use of a lever with ball knob, and the whole gearbox can be rotated using the rotating handle attached on the side of the input pulley. Protractors on the input and output shaft pulleys are fitted. This Gearbox Apparatus is hand operated. A set of clear transparent guards are fitted so that safety is maintained and clear visibility is ensured. A set of masses and hangers is supplied to allow the shafts to be driven. The input and output pulleys allow loads to be applied for lifting and lowering.
A comprehensive instruction manual for lecturer and student, giving full details on apparatus assembly and operation as well as example results, is provided. All necessary assembly and operational tools are provided.

Construction and Design
The Gearbox Apparatus ProDynami – 1362 is built on a sturdy wall mounted frame housing all gears, shafts, bearings, and levers. An ‘H’ style change mechanism, with gear change lever and knob, selects between gears finished to industry standard and meshing in different ratios: 20 tooth, 26 tooth, 52 tooth, and 39 tooth, at module 1, giving three forward gears and one reverse. All gears run on shafts fitted into bearings, with the changing mechanism ensuring smooth transition. Gears can be slid across each other using a lever with ball knob, and the whole gearbox can be rotated via a rotating handle attached to the side of the input pulley, which has a diameter of Ø87.5mm. Protractors are fitted on the input and output shaft pulleys, both of which can be reversed. Clear transparent guards maintain safety and visibility. Two hangers of 100g each, along with a set of slotted weights, drive the shafts via the input and output pulleys for lifting and lowering loads.
