Model size: 16.8*12.8*10.6 cmPackage size: 20.5*18.8*6.3 cmNumber of components: 104Estimated time for assembly: 2.5 hours Assemble it and discover the principle of working of the Variator. The model kit comes with a QR-code that will forward you to the learning guide about the mechanism, the principal of its working, the main characteristics, formulas, and interesting assignments. Dive into augmented reality and look at how the Variator works. Interact with the model via a special AR application from Ugears. The Variator’s design and how it works The Mechanical Variator of the Ugears STEM lab collection is a fully functional wooden replica of a Belt-driven Friction Cone CVT. The Cone CVT varies the drive ratio by moving a wheel or belt up and down the axis of conical roller. In the Ugears Variator model, the belt, powered manually via the reducer, transfers the rotation to the driven cone pulleys. Use the transmission fork to change gears and observe how the speed of the driven cone pulley drops or rises while the drive cone pulley’s speed remains the same. Due to the open design of the model, you will be able to see the whole process. Ugears STEM models are designed to suit different age groups with a special focus on learning component. The assembly of the model will be interesting and won’t take much time. STEM lab Model kits come with all you need in a box. Just like the rest of Ugear’s collections, putting STEM lab models together is fun and comprehensive: everything you need to build, learn, and discover comes in a box. There you will find: Wooden details pre-cut with a precise high-tech laser in high-quality plywood boards, as well as other materials required for assembly. The models need no glue or additional instruments to build. The details come out of the board with a slight push. Step-by step illustrated assembly instruction manual. Practical lab tasks with use of your model.
