About Sherrington Rotating Drum Kymograph

Sherrington Rotating Drum And Kymograph

Description

This is an electrically driven recording drum or kymograph suitable for use by students for lab. Experiments. These kymographs are also used to measure atmospheric pressure, tuning fork vibrations and functioning of steam engines.Its drive mechanism consists of constant speed heavy duty electric motor and an accurate gear box contained in the base together with robust plate clutch. Engagement of various gear ratios are affected by sliding the lever into the slot marked with surface speed or by a knob.The recording drum or cylinder has a 6 dia and stainless steel spindle have been standardized to make the same universal and interchangeable. It has 8 variable speeds. The speed is measured in mm per second. Eight variable speeds are 0. 12, 0. 25, 1. 25, 2. 5, 12. 5, 25, 320 and 640 mm per second. A hand gear is provided to change the speed of the kymograph.Double electric contact arms are clamped on the main spindle and a stout double-contact block is fitted on top of the base. It runs on 220v, ac 50hz.

Reliable Performance for Physiology Studies

Engineered for accurate and consistent data recording, the Sherrington Rotating Drum Kymograph is tailored for nerve-muscle and cardiac research. Its robust construction and variable speed options enhance experimental flexibility, making it a preferred choice among laboratories across India.

User-Friendly Design and Effortless Assembly

This kymograph arrives ready for use with minimal setup needed. The cast iron base provides superior stability, while the intuitive manual control mode allows straightforward adjustments during experiments. Included accessories ensure seamless recording from the start.

Durability and Safety Assurance

Constructed with heavy-duty materials, this instrument supports up to 20 kg/hr capacity and features an overload protection mechanism, safeguarding both user and device during extended operation. The polished writing surface and easy interchangeability further add to its lasting utility in any lab environment.

FAQs of Sherrington Rotating Drum Kymograph:

Q: How do you operate the Sherrington Rotating Drum Kymograph in a laboratory setting?

A: Operation is straightforward: connect the device to a 220V AC power source using the supplied cord, use the starter key to power on, and select your desired rotational speed (10, 25, or 50 RPM) via manual controls. Position your recording lever and begin documenting physiological activity, such as muscle contractions.

Q: What types of studies or applications is this kymograph most suitable for?

A: It is ideally suited for laboratory applications involving nerve-muscle and cardiac studies, as well as general physiological experiments that require accurate time-based recordings of contractions or other responses.

Q: When should the kymograph drum be replaced or interchanged?

A: Replace or interchange the drum when switching between experiments that require a clean surface or different recording conditions. The design allows easy drum changes without complex disassembly, maintaining workflow efficiency.

Q: Where can this kymograph be installed, and what are the space requirements?

A: Due to its compact dimensions (30 x 28 x 40 cm) and stable cast iron base, it can be set up on most standard laboratory benches or workstations. Ensure the environment is ambient in temperature and has access to a 220V AC power supply.

Q: What is the process of recording physiological events with this instrument?

A: Mount the specimen and recording lever, power up the device, select the required speed, and initiate the event or stimulus. The polished drum rotates smoothly, enabling uniform and accurate recording of contractions or other physiological markers on the drum surface.

Q: What benefits does this kymograph offer compared to computerized or digital models?

A: While not computerized, this mechanical kymograph offers robust reliability, real-time visual data, minimal electronic interference, and easy maintenance. Its simplicity also makes it ideal for teaching, demonstrations, and classic experimental protocols.

Q: How does overload protection enhance the safety and durability of the device?

A: The integrated overload protection automatically intervenes if operational limits are exceeded, preventing potential damage to internal components and ensuring the safety of both the user and the instrument during intensive or extended use.
