How It Works
Explore basic trusses and bridges:
PASCO’s Truss Set includes all of the materials needed to demonstrate the properties of I-beams and teach the basics of trusses, including 60 I-beams of various sizes.
Add measurements to your system:
The Load Cell & Amplifier Set provides you the means to accurately measure tension and compression in real-time—anywhere in your structure! You build the Load Cell right into your structure where you want it—and easily relocate it without disassembling the entire structure.
Collect data on your choice of interfaces:
Load cells connect to a load cell amplifier which can then be connected to any current PASCO interface.
