The outermost attachment positions relative to the
center are designed for a span of a #4 I-beam and
a separation of a #5 I-beam if the Brackets are
mounted on a PASCO Force Platform. However,
if the Brackets are mounted on another platform,
or no platform as shown in Figure 3, then the span
can be longer or shorter than a #4 I-beam.
Please refer to the instruction manuals for the
PASCO Structures System Sets for ideas of what
structures can be built and attached to the Force
Platform Structures Bracket and a Force Platform.
Examples include large bridges and a tower crane.
Other Uses for the
Bracket
You can use the Force Platform Structures
Bracket on a different force-measurement
platform if you have the means to attach the
Bracket to your platform.
As shown in Figure 4, it is also possible to attach a
structure to just one Force Platform Structures
Bracket.
The attachment positions on the Bracket are at the
same height as the top attachment position on a
“half-round” connector.
