Scope:

• The Drive Systems experiments kit should introduce students to various types of belt, chain, and shaft drive systems. 
• Belt and chain drive experiments should include to demonstrate the characteristics of different belt and chain systems with multiple velocity ratios. The efficiency should be calculated for varying loads for both the different velocity ratios and the different belt and chain systems allowing comparisons between the different systems to be observed. And also experiment should include to demonstrate the effect of belt tension and the effect of pulley lap.
• Power transfer, efficiency, and direction in a belt drive
• Power transfer and efficiency in a chain drive
• Input and output relationships of a universal coupling
• Prevention of vibration at high speed in a universal coupling
• Friction and angle of lap on a pulley
