Planetary Gear Demonstrator
This product is a small-sized model unit used for explaining the principle of a planetary gear. By setting the internal sun and pinion gears into motion (input or fixed), you can get the different outputs from acceleration, deceleration and reverse. Comes equipped with a storage case holding 10 Planetary Gear Demonstrators. These items are made special to order and are not held in stock. Lead times are approximately two to three months. Freight charges may apply. Dimentions: 24L x 14W x 14H cm ; Weight: 3kg
