About Student Electric Kymograph
Student Electric Kymograph ETPL-235
Specification of Student Electric Kymograph
Drive mechanism consists of constant speed electric motor and accurate gear-box contained in the base together with robust plate clutch. Engagement of various gear ratios are effected by sliding the lever into the slot marked with surface speed or by a knob in seperate models.
6" diameter main cylinder and Stainless Steel spindle have been standardized to make the same universal and interchangeable. Double electric contact arms are clamped on the main spindle and a stout double-contact block is fitted on top of the base.
Gear ratios i.e. 640 mm, 320 mm, 25 mm, 12.5 mm, 2.5 mm, 1.2 mm, 0.25 mm, and 0.12 mm per sec, are effected by sliding lever into the slot marked with 8-surface speeds.
Optional : When longer records are needed a long paper extension device can be provided and fitted in position by a single set screw.
Precision for Laboratory ApplicationsEngineered for pharmacology and physiology experiments, the kymograph delivers precise and reliable recording of physiological responses. The nickel-plated brass drum and variable motor speed offer versatility and accuracy, making it indispensable for educational and professional laboratories.
Durable Construction and Safety FeaturesWith its heavy cast iron base, rust-resistant powder coating, and overload protection, the Student Electric Kymograph promises long-lasting performance. The vibration-free operation and thoughtful safety measures ensure consistent results and safeguard users during extended laboratory sessions.
FAQs of Student Electric Kymograph:
Q: How does the Student Electric Kymograph record physiological responses during experiments?
A: It utilizes a nickel-plated brass drum that rotates at controlled speeds, allowing an attached ink writing pen and lever to trace physiological data onto paper. This process enables accurate visual recording of muscle contractions and other biological events in real-time.
Q: What accessories come with the kymograph and how are they used?
A: The kymograph includes fitting accessories, a lever, and an ink writing pen. These components are crucial for mounting samples and capturing data effectively, ensuring each experiment is conducted smoothly and results are reliably documented.
Q: When should variable speed control be used on the kymograph?
A: Variable speed control, adjustable between 10 and 100 RPM, is employed to tailor the recording drums rotation speed to the specific needs of different physiological experiments, allowing users to optimize resolution and data accuracy as required.
Q: Where is the Student Electric Kymograph typically used?
A: This apparatus is primarily found in laboratory settings such as schools, colleges, and research institutes specializing in pharmacology and physiology. Its sturdy build and reliable performance make it ideal for repeated educational and investigative applications.
Q: What safety features are integrated into the kymograph?
A: The kymograph is equipped with overload protection to guard the motor against excessive electrical loads, while its stable cast iron base minimizes operational vibrations, reducing accident risks and ensuring safer laboratory use.
Q: How does the construction benefit users in terms of durability and maintenance?
A: The rust-resistant, powder-coated finish and robust materials, such as the steel base and nickel-plated brass components, provide enhanced durability and require minimal maintenance, making it a cost-effective and long-lasting choice for laboratory work.
Q: Can the kymograph operate both manually and electrically for recording experiments?
A: Yes, the device offers manual and electric motor-driven operation, giving users flexibility depending on experimental requirements and available power sources. This dual mode facilitates adaptability across different laboratory setups.
