Cariollis Component of Acceleration
Product Code : LSK-TOMLE-10622
Cariollis Component of Acceleration (SKU LSK-TOMLE-10622), better known as the Coriolis component of acceleration apparatus, uses a hydraulic analogy to measure the Coriolis acceleration of a slider moving along a rotating link, as in a slider-crank mechanism. Water flowing out along two rotating tubes plays the part of the slider. It is a Theory of Machines practical for mechanical engineering degrees and diplomas. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the unit in Saha, Ambala, India and quotes buyers directly.
Specifications
A rotating block carries two opposed tubes, 9/6 mm diameter and 300 mm long, driven by a 0.5 HP swinging-field DC motor that doubles as a dynamometer for torque. A small monoblock pump circulates water from a fibreglass-lined tank, a rotameter reads flow, and a Perspex window shows the process.

Applications and Experiments for the Coriolis Component of Acceleration Apparatus
The apparatus determines the Coriolis component of acceleration at different rotational speeds and water flow rates. Torque read from the swinging-field motor is compared with the value predicted from flow velocity and angular speed, turning a difficult kinematics topic into a measurable result.
- B.Tech/B.E. mechanical, Theory of Machines: Coriolis acceleration in slider-crank and quick-return mechanisms.
- Diploma mechanical engineering: effect of speed and flow on Coriolis torque.
- Vocational training equipment for TVET mechanical technology labs.
The spelling "Cariollis" is kept from the product listing; the standard term is Coriolis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the apparatus model a slider-crank mechanism?
Water flowing outward along the rotating tubes behaves like a slider moving along a rotating link. The reaction torque on the swinging-field motor measures the resulting Coriolis effect.
What services does the Cariollis Component of Acceleration unit need?
A 230 V AC single-phase stabilised supply, a water fill for the main tank, and a floor space of about 1.5 x 1.5 m.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The company is the manufacturer. This unit is built at the Science Lab Supplies factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and buyers get quotations straight from it.
Why does the motor act as a dynamometer?
A swinging-field motor is mounted so its casing can turn against a restraint. The reaction torque on the casing equals the torque driving the tubes, including the Coriolis contribution.
