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. Its maker, Science Lab Supplies, fabricates the unit in Saha, Ambala, India and handles quotations for colleges, contractors and distributors directly.
Specifications
Arms, motor, pump and panel of the Coriolis apparatus each take one row of the table. In short, a rotating block carries two opposed 300 mm tubes driven by a 0.5 HP swinging-field DC motor that doubles as a dynamometer, while a monoblock pump circulates water from a fibreglass-lined tank through a rotameter.

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.
- Fluid machines: the same free-moving motor principle reappears in the trunnion-mounted Universal Dynamometer used with pump and turbine modules.
- Flow measurement: comparing rotameter readings with the variable area meter on the Flow Meter Demonstration.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit comprises the rotating block with two tubes, the swinging-field DC motor, the monoblock pump, the fibreglass-lined main tank, the rotameter, the control panel with speed indicator, switches and speed control unit, and the rigid support frame with a transparent window in its top cover.

Requests for a price can be lodged on the contact page, gathered with other dynamics units in the enquiry cart, or routed through the lab tender page for tender buying.
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?
Science Lab Supplies is the maker. The Coriolis unit is fabricated in its Saha, Ambala works in India, and buyers deal with the manufacturer for both price and technical clarifications.
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.
