Philip Harris Ticker Timer
Philip Harris Ticker Timer
Product code: B8R06037
Product Description
This extremely popular unit has revolutionised experiments because of the quality of the traces it makes, and the reliability of the mechanism ensures that ticker-tape experiments are no longer hit and miss.
There is no double-dotting or smearing, even at high speeds. No pen or carbon discs are required. Friction between tape and ticker-timer is kept to a minimum.
Excellent results can be expected.
The unit comes with a boss-head so that it can be easily clamped in a rod.
Requires 2 - 4V AC from a low-voltage power supply (not included).
The unit is protected by a 2A internal fuse. A Power Supply with a voltage limiting lock is preferred (PP00057619)
The Timer uses self-marking paper tape which is included.
- Replacement Tape can be supplied separately: B8R07098
- Small compact unit
- Can be mounted onto a retort stand.
- Key Stage 3 Physics - Motion and Forces: Speed and the quantitative relationship between average speed, distance and time (speed = distance ÷ time).
- Key Stage 4 Physics - Forces and Motion: Forces as vectors. Speed of sound, estimating speeds and accelerations in everyday contexts. Interpreting quantitatively graphs of distance, time, and speed: Make and interpret measurements of distances, times, speeds and accelerations,and represent these in graphical form.
- Setting a voltage limit on the Power Supplies is useful as these Ticker Timer units run on a low voltage
- The Unilab Lockmaster Power Supply is suitable: PP00057619
