FAQ#027 – Which type of damping fluid is recommended for filling the pendulum tanks?
We recommend to use the following mineral oil with selected viscosity: SAE 50-90 for direct pendulums SAE-10 for inverted pendulums.
FAQ#003 – Which are the needed conditions to use the ANS adjustable support for TEL-310S if you need to monitor the direct pendulum’s wire?
To fix the “SUS” optical sensor unit through the “ANS” support, it is necessary that the direct pendulum’s wire is at a distance of d=230 mm. from the wall. To achieve that, the direct pendulum’s tank has to be placed at a distance of D=20 mm. from the wall: in this way is guaranteed that […]
