Beam Deflection Unit

• This unit has been designed to enable the students to observe and study the following phenomena in simply supported beams and  cantilever beams:
• Relation between the deflections and the applied loads.
• Effect of the length and the cross section on the beam behaviour. Ex: deflection load ratio.
• The unit consists of an aluminum and stainless steel structure to carry out experiment with metal beams up to a length of 1 m. Three beams with different cross section are supplied.
• The structure makes it easy to study cantilevers holding the beam by one end, or beams simply supported on two points. The  unit gives us the possibility of modifying the position of the supporting and holding points.
• It has a graduated ruler fixed on the structure that allows to obtain measures easily in different points of the beam
