Vernier™ Pulley Bracket

Description

• Description The Pulley Bracket is used to attach a Vernier Ultra Pulley to a Track
• The same Track is included with the Vernier Dynamics Cart and Track System
• Typically the Pulley Bracket is used when an experiment requires a string passing between a hanging mass and a dynamics cart
• The configuration is commonly called a half-Atwood machine
• The Pulley Bracket can be assembled for use with or without a Vernier Photogate
• When assembled with a photogate, the pulley spokes pass through the beam of the photogate, allowing the gate to perform motion timing
• To install the Pulley Bracket, loosen the wing bolt on the short leg of the bracket, and insert the oblong nut into the slot in the center underside of the track
• Tighten the wing bolt with the bracket firmly against the end of the track
• If a photogate will not be used in the setup, attach the pulley on the vertical arm of the bracket, away from the track, using the supplied round bolt
• Do not include the black plastic bracket
• To add a photogate, slide the black plastic bracket over the metal bracket, with the open side facing away from the track and the bolt hole up
• Place the photogate in the open slot and the pulley between the arms of the photogate
• Warranty and Services 5-year limited warranty
