Features:

• Recommended for ages 8+ years
• Assemble it and discover the principle of working of the Variator
• The model kit comes with a QR-code that will forward you to the learning guide about the mechanism, the principal of its working, the main characteristics, formulas, and interesting assignments
• Dive into augmented reality and look at how the Variator works, Interact with the model via a special AR application from Ugears
• The Variator is a device that transfers and adjusts the engine torque by changing the ratio of gears
• Gear ratio can change automatically, manually or within a pre-set program
• With the Ugears Variator model of the STEM lab collection you can learn and comprehend one of the most important parts of a car without soiling your hands in machine oil
• The CVT is used in mechanisms, in which a continuous range of gear ratios must be changed seamlessly: cars, motor scooters, snowmobiles, quadracycles, conveyors, metal-cutting machines, etc. To have a better idea about how it is used in different types of equipment, try the AR application that comes with the Ugears STEM model
• The Mechanical Variator of the STEM lab collection is a fully functional wooden replica of a Belt-driven Friction Cone CVT
• The Cone CVT varies the drive ratio by moving a wheel or belt up and down the axis of conical roller
• The belt, powered manually via the reducer, transfers the rotation to the driven cone pulleys
• Use the transmission fork to change gears and observe how the speed of the driven cone pulley drops or rises while the drive cone pulley’s speed remains the same
• Due to the open design of the model, you will be able to see the whole process
• The assembly of the model will be interesting and won’t take much time
