Features
Tesca Deflection of Beam Apparatus 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 behavior. Ex: deflection load ratio. The “MFV” unit consists of an aluminum and stainless steel structure to carry out an experiment with metal beams up to a length of 1 m. Three beams with different cross-sections 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 obtaining measures easily in different points of the beam. The weights will be hung from hooks,  in order to apply the load to any point in the beam.  

Specifications
Bench-top unit.  
Structure of anodized aluminum and stainless steel.  
Metallic guide with a graduated ruler for positioning the different supports. 
2 Removable stainless steel supports.  
1 Removable stainless steel cantilever support.  
Dial gauge, 0-25 mm range, and 0.01 accuracy.  
It allows experimentation with beams up to 1000 mm in length for their study.  
Three test rectangular beams (made of stainless steel) with different cross-sections and 1 m. of length are supplied.  
The unit allows test as:  
  -     Cantilever beam.  
  -     Beam fixed at one end and simply supported at the other end.  
  -     Simply supported beam.  
Adjustable legs for balancing the unit.  
In order to carry out some of the practices with the MFV unit, 2 sets of weights “C type” is required.  (See required accessories).  
Manuals: The Trainer is supplied with the following manuals: Required Services, Assembly and  Installation, Starting-up, Security, Maintenance and Practices manual.
