Ugears Pendulum STEM LAB

UGEARS UG70133 - STEM LAB Pendulum
Assemble it and discover the principle of working of the Pendulum!
Experiment: the model comes with QR-code to a Pocket Model’s Study Guide with a creation story and mechanism design as well as engaging and interesting tasks.
Immerse yourself in Augmented Reality (AR), find out how the pendulum is used in a clock mechanism, and interact with it via the dedicated Ugears application.

The Pendulum is developed to serve as a learning tool rather than a puzzle. 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:
High-quality wooden boards with pre-cut details and other standard supplies. Assembly requires no glue or additional tools. The details come out of the boards with a slight push.
Detailed step-by-step color instruction manual. Easy to follow – easy to learn.
Examples and suggestions for your fun hands-on projects.
QR-code to Pocket Model’s Study Guide (the Pendulum Essentials with description of the mechanism, principle of working, main characteristics, definitions, and formulas).
QR-code to Ugears AR Application. New exciting feature from Ugears to make your learning experience even more fascinating!

Learn how the PENDULUM works:
The Pendulum is a stylised educational model, an interactive study guide to the mechanism, only for learning its essentials and principles of working. The pendulum is one of the basic and most reliable time measuring mechanisms. Its working principle is based on the model's constant amplitude oscillation under the force of gravity (weight) and potential energy (tension force) of the rubber band. The rubber band powers the mechanism of the model and compensates for the pendulum's oscillations' kinetic energy loss. The device is animated by means of gear unit with a windup wheel.
The model has an anchor escapement controlling the frequency of oscillations, a weight, a scape-wheel, gearing, rubber band, ratchet and pawl reducing operation error. The model has several means to control the frequency of oscillations: the weight of the pendulum bob, the vertical position of the weight on the pendulum, and the tension of the rubber band.

When and who invented it:
The first study of the pendulum was implemented by Galileo Galilei, an Italian engineer in the end of the 16th century. He described the property of the pendulum to preserve the consistency of the oscillations. The first person to use a pendulum in a mechanical clock and ensure a steady rate was a Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens back in the 17th century.

Usage:
Pendulums are mainly used in mechanical clocks as an element of a launch mechanism and the way to provide a steady rate. In the musical sphere, metronomes that have pendulums as their chief constructional element, help musicians practice playing to a regular tempo. Pendulums are also used in geological surveying, seismography, sports, and laboratory research in mechanics and physics.

The mechanism of the Pendulum is composed of:
Escapement wheel
Needle indicator
The pendulum with the anchor
Pendulum bob

If you are planning to visit the store to purchase a specific item, and it shows that we only have a few items in stock, we recommend that you place an order in our webshop and choose the delivery option "Pick up in store". We will then reserve the products for you and send you a confirmation email when your order is ready for collection.

Shipping Methods and Costs

Packages are normally shipped with DB Schenker and delivered to a collection point. If, for logistical reasons, the shipment cannot be sent to a collection point, we will contact you to find a suitable delivery method.

You can order as much as you like – the shipping cost is only SEK 79 per order! For very bulky products, actual shipping costs may apply. We will always contact you if the shipping cost exceeds SEK 79.

Special shipping rates apply when ordering fuel. Please see fuel shipping information.

Delivery to Other Countries

We are happy to deliver to other countries, but shipping costs may vary. Please contact us for a shipping quote.

Right of Withdrawal

If you purchase an item by mail order, you have the right to cancel your purchase within 14 days. Once you have returned the item, we will refund the amount you paid for it. If you paid by card, it may take a few banking days for the money to appear in your account. Return shipping is paid by you, and the item must be sent to our address, not to a collection point.
As a buyer, you have the right to carefully inspect the item, but it must be returned in essentially unchanged condition. You may not use or test the item.

Please note: 
• The item must be complete and returned in its original packaging in essentially unchanged condition. 
• The item must not be used or tested.
• The return form below must be completed and included together with the receipt/invoice.
• If the item contains multiple packages with accessories/parts, these must not be opened.

Uncollected Shipments

For packages that cannot be delivered or are not collected from the specified collection point, we will charge a fee of at least SEK 250. If our actual costs are higher, those costs will be charged.

Age Requirement

To place an order in our online store, you must be at least 18 years old. You must therefore always provide your personal identity number when placing an order. If you are under 18, a guardian must approve your order and provide their personal identity number.
