Torque Wheel Assembly and Torque Indicator Assembly
The Torque Wheel Assembly has a 5 cm radius disk with a
label that has concentric circles 2 mm apart. The disk rotates
freely on a ball bearing and has five holes for attaching a
Torque Indicator Assembly. The Torque Indicator snaps into
the hole and rotates freely. Tie a 30 cm (12”) thread to the hole
in the end of each indicator.
To remove a Torque Indicator, firmly grasp the indicator at the
pivot in the middle and pull outwards while pushing on the end
of the snap from the other side of the disk.
Force Wheel Assembly and String Tie Assembly
The Force Wheel Assembly has a 5 cm radius disk with a 360°
label and a bubble level for leveling the Force Wheel. Unlike
the Torque Wheel, the Force Wheel does not rotate freely but
the disk can be turned in order to level the wheel. Once leveled,
the wheel will stay in position until moved again.
REMINDER: Be sure to put tie three threads through the hole
in the center of the String Tie before putting the String Tie into
the Force Wheel.
The String Tie Assembly snaps into the hole in the center of the
Force Wheel Assembly. Align the tabs on the String Tie with
the notches inside the hole at the center of the Force Wheel.
Push the String Tie firmly into the Force Wheel until both tabs
“snap” into place. Note that the surface of the outer part of the
String Tie will be very slightly below the surface of the Force
Wheel, but the inner part of the String Tie will be flush with the
Force Wheel.
Removing the String Tie Assembly
If you need to remove the String Tie (in order to replace the threads, for example), remove the Force Wheel from
the Statics Board. On the underside of the disk are instructions about removing the String Tie.
