Model No.PS-2120A Introduction Mounting the Rotary Motion Sensor The rod clamp fits rods up to 12.7 mm in diameter, such as the ME-8736 45 cm Stainless Steel Rod, and the rod clamp can be attached to the sensor in three different locations: at the end opposite to the cable and on either side of the case. Case Rod clamp Use the included hex key to loosen the two screws that hold the rod clamp on the Rotary Motion Sensor case.

Rotary Motion Sensor Introduction Mounting the Rotary Motion Sensor to a Large “A” Base The Rotary Motion Sensor can be mounted on the base of the Rotating Platform (ME-8951) using the “A” Base Rotational Adapter (CI-6690, available separately). Rotary Motion Sensor Adapter Bracket The “A” Base Rotational Adapter includes an adapter bracket, a three-step pulley, a drive belt (“O” ring), and a shoulder screw.

Model No.PS-2120A Introduction Pendulum Setup Point Mass Setup Attaching the Chaos/Harmonic Motion Accessory to the Rotary Motion Sensor The Chaos/Harmonic Motion Accessory (CI-6689A) is a driven damped physical pendulum. Various types of phase plots can be made as the driving frequency, driving amplitude, initial conditions, and amount of damping are varied. The Magnetic Damping Attachment attaches to either side of the Rotary Motion Sensor in the same way as the rod clamp is attached.

Model No.PS-2120A • Set up a data display. For example, drag the Graph icon from the Displays palette onto the workbook page, or double-click the icon to create a Graph display.. Introduction Graph display icon Create a Graph display • • Set up the Graph display to show Angular Velocity (rad/s) on the vertical axis. Click the “Select Measurement” menu button on the vertical axis and pick Angular Velocity (rad/s) from the menu. Time (s) automatically shows on the horizontal axis.
