Indicator Motor Kit With Stand

Product Code : SCL-EI-10593

Quick answer: The Indicator Motor Kit With Stand lets students assemble a simple DC motor from Magnadur magnets, an armature, mild-steel yoke, shaft and copper winding wire, supporting construction of up to six motor models. It demonstrates how current in a magnetic field produces rotation, teaching the motor effect through hands-on assembly rather than diagrams alone.

Key Features

• Practical DC motor construction kit for school physics labs
• Supports construction of six motor models, based on verified reference data
• Demonstrates the motor effect using magnets, armatures and current-carrying coils
• Wooden support bases help hold the motor assembly during experiments
• Useful for teaching magnetic field direction, current direction and coil rotation
• Suitable for individual group work, demonstrations and STEM projects
• Encourages hands-on assembly instead of only theoretical motor diagrams

What's Included in the Kit

• 12 Magnadur magnets
• 6 armatures
• 6 mild-steel yokes
• 6 wooden support bases
• 6 shafts
• 24 rivets
• 12 split pins
• 1 reel of 26 SWG PVC-covered copper wire
• 2 reels of cello tape
• 30cm rubber tubing, 2.5mm bore
• Instruction manual / experiment guide
• Battery holder / power source

Applications / Uses

• Building a simple DC motor model
• Teaching the magnetic effect of electric current
• Demonstrating the motor effect in a current-carrying coil
• Explaining the role of magnets, armature, yoke and shaft
• Observing how current direction affects motor rotation
• Comparing electrical input with mechanical output
• Supporting school science exhibitions and STEM practical lessons

How to Use the Indicator Motor Kit With Stand

• Place the support base on a stable laboratory table
• Fit the yoke, magnets, shaft and armature according to the teacher's setup diagram
• Wind or connect the copper coil as directed in the experiment guide
• Connect the coil terminals to the approved low-voltage power source
• Switch on the circuit and observe armature movement or rotation
• Reverse the connection if the activity requires comparison of rotation direction
• Disconnect the power source before adjusting the coil, magnet or shaft position

Safety note: Use only under teacher supervision. Avoid short circuits, do not touch rotating parts during operation, and disconnect power before handling the motor assembly.

Care & Maintenance

• Store magnets, armatures, shafts and small fasteners in separate labelled compartments
• Keep copper wire dry and free from sharp bends
• Check the support base and shaft alignment before each experiment
• Keep magnets away from electronic devices, magnetic cards and sensitive instruments

Pairing with Other Electricity and Magnetism Apparatus

The Indicator Motor Kit With Stand pairs naturally with other electricity and magnetism teaching apparatus. The Student Exercises on Magnetism set introduces the underlying magnet and compass concepts before students build a working motor, while the Basic Electrical Circuits kit and Coil with 400 Turns support the circuit-building and coil-winding skills used in this kit's motor assembly.
