Introduction
The PASCO Wireless Rotary Motion Sensor is a versatile position and motion measuring
device. It measures angles to a resolution of 0.18°, and detects the direction of motion.
Markings on the outside of the case indicate which is the default positive direction. The
maximum speed is between 20 and 80 revolutions per second.
The sensor comes with a removable three-step pulley (10 millimeter (mm), 29 mm, and
48 mm diameters), and a rubber “O”-ring that fits into the largest diameter step. The
three-step pulley can be placed large-diameter down or large-diameter up on the shaft. A
tab on the inside of the pulley matches a notch on the outside of the shaft. The pulley has
a notch and a small hole in the outer edge of the largest and second largest steps for
attaching a string. One side of the sensor has a platform for mounting a Super Pulley with
Table Clamp (optional).
Using the Sensor
The sensor is designed to work with PASCO data collection software to measure position, velocity, and
acceleration. Use it to study optics, dynamics, centripetal force, or motion of a pendulum.
Data Collection Software
