About Sherrington Rotating Drum And Kymograph

SHERRINGTON ROTATING DRUM AND KYMOGRAPH

* This is an electrically driven recording drum or kymograph suitable for use by students for lab. Experiments.

*These kymographs are also used to measure atmospheric pressure, tuning fork vibrations and functioning of steam engines.
* its drive mechanism consists of constant speed heavy duty electric motor and an accurate gear box contained in the base together with robust plate clutch. * * Engagement of various gear ratios are affected by sliding the lever into the slot marked with surface speed or by a knob.
* The recording drum or cylinder has a 6' dia and stainless steel spindle have been standardized to make the same universal and interchangeable.

* It has 8 variable speeds.

*The speed is measured in mm per second. Eight variable speeds are 0. 12, 0. 25, 1. 25, 2. 5, 12. 5, 25, 320 and 640 mm per second.

*A hand gear is provided to change the speed of the kymograph.
* Double electric contact arms are clamped on the main spindle and a stout double-contact block is fitted on top of the base. It runs on 220v, ac 50hz.

Versatile Recording Applications

This kymograph is engineered for a range of experimental procedures, such as demonstrating muscle contraction, nerve response, and testing pharmacological agents. Its universal lever accommodates various tissue, muscle, and nerve attachments, enhancing experimental flexibility for educators and researchers alike.

Adjustable Speed Control for Precision

With manually adjustable speed across eight levels, the rotating drum enables users to select optimal recording speeds between 1 mm/sec and 400 mm/sec. This precision control is crucial for capturing detailed physiological events and obtaining accurate, interpretable results.

Robust Construction and Complete Accessories

The devices heavy-duty metal frame ensures durability and stability during operation. Each unit is supplied with essential accessories, including levers, recording stylus, tissue hooks, power cord, smoked paper, spare fuses, and a manualmaking it ready for immediate use or instructional demonstration.

FAQs of Sherrington Rotating Drum And Kymograph:

Q: How does the Sherrington Rotating Drum and Kymograph record physiological events?

A: The kymograph uses a rotating aluminum or brass drum coated with smoke or covered with glossy paper. A universal lever stylus records physiological changes, such as muscle contractions or nerve responses, as graphical traces on the drums surface while it rotates at an adjustable speed.

Q: What are the benefits of using a kymograph in physiology laboratories?

A: The device offers accurate visual representation of muscle and nerve activity, enabling detailed study of physiological events. Its versatility and ease of use make it an essential tool for both education and research. The heavy-duty construction and flexible speed control ensure reliable, reproducible results.

Q: When should I choose the electrical motor drive over the clockwork option?

A: An electrically driven model (AC 220V/50 Hz) is ideal when continuous or variable-speed operation is required, especially for experiments needing precise timing or extended recording periods. The clockwork version is suitable for manual, short-duration tasks or in environments with limited electrical supply.

Q: Where can the Sherrington Kymograph be used most effectively?

A: This kymograph is best utilized in university and postgraduate physiology laboratories, medical colleges, and research institutions for educational demonstrations and experimental studies involving tissue, muscle, and nerve physiology.

Q: What is the process for setting up and using the kymograph?

A: Simply mount the recording paper or smoked sheet on the drum, connect the tissue, muscle, or nerve to the input hooks, and attach the lever stylus. Adjust the desired drum speed, and as the experiment proceeds, the stylus records data as graphical tracings on the rotating drum.

Q: Is special training required to operate the kymograph?

A: While general laboratory skills are recommended, the device is designed to be user-friendly. Clear instructions are provided in the manual, making it accessible for students and researchers familiar with basic physiological experimentation.
