Teach Mechanical Drive Skills Hands-On

Gear reducers, also known as gearboxes, gear drives, or speed reducers, are enclosed mechanical devices that use gears to lower the speed and raise the torque of an electric motor. There are a wide variety of different types of gear reducers for specific applications.

Mechanical speed variators are used to control gearbox input speed and allow continuously changing output speeds via a manual handwheel, servo, or speed gauging kit. Their benefits include performance stability, longevity, high efficiency, quiet operation, vibration-free, and availability with both directions of rotation. Mechanical speed variators are used in a variety of applications, such as conveyor belts, food processors, and many other machines.

DAC Worldwide’s Mechanical Speed Variator Dissectible (205-190) is one of an extensive series of actual industrial gear reducer dissectibles for use in hands-on mechanical drives training in either the classroom or the laboratory.

Each dissectible consists of a real piece of industrial equipment that has been cleaned, restored, repainted, and mounted on a modular, heavy-gauge, formed-steel baseplate. It can also be mounted on a compatible DAC Worldwide bench, workstation, or storage product.

All primary functional features are retained, and replacement hardware is provided where necessary. The dissectible provides learners with realistic, hands-on experience with the detailed disassembly, inspection, and assembly of a mechanical speed variator commonly encountered in industry.

Industry-Standard Components Provide Realistic, Hands-On Training

Technical training is most effective when learners can gain hands-on practice with industry-standard components they’ll encounter on the job. The dissectible features a carefully restored, industrial mechanical speed variator to provide learners with a realistic training experience that will build skills that translate easily to the workplace.

The Mechanical Speed Variator Dissectible is a sturdy unit mounted on a 7-gauge, formed-steel baseplate with provision for bench-top, workstation, or storage rack mounting. Where necessary, it has been painted with a highly durable urethane coating. An applicable installation and maintenance manual from the original manufacturer is also included with each dissectible.

Expand Training Capabilities with Custom Options

The Mechanical Speed Variator Dissectible can be customized with available options to create a training system that matches a particular industry’s or user’s specific needs. For example, available options for this dissectible include: an IPT Industrial Trades Manual or Handbook and an Electromechanical Workstation..
