Model No. ME-6988A Other Uses for the Bracket
3
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 (part of
the ME-6990 Truss Set).
