T-M136 Conveyor Belt DIY Learning Kit

Overview of the T-M136 Conveyor Belt DIY Learning Kit

The T-M136 Conveyor Belt DIY Learning Kit is a practical, curriculum-friendly STEM project that introduces students to core concepts in mechanical engineering, automation, and industrial systems. Learners assemble a working conveyor system driven by a DC motor to simulate material movement in factories, warehouses, and packaging lines.

What students will learn

• Fundamentals of mechanical motion and energy transfer
• Gear transmission, shaft alignment, and pulley systems
• Basic motor control and battery-powered electronics
• System design, troubleshooting, and hands-on problem solving

Key features and benefits

• Hands-on learning: Visualize how conveyor systems transport materials in automated environments.
• Motorized operation: Smooth, DC motor-driven belt rotation to demonstrate speed and torque relationships.
• Adjustable belt system: Modify belt tension and experiment with speed for practical demonstrations.
• Easy assembly: Pre-cut wooden or acrylic parts fit together with no soldering or advanced tools required.
• Eco-friendly materials: Non-toxic, durable components designed for repeated classroom use.
• Skill level: Designed for beginner to intermediate learners — perfect for classroom labs and after-school programs.

Classroom applications and project ideas

• Demonstrate energy transfer, friction, and mechanical advantage in physics classes
• Use as a lab for teaching basic automation and industrial processes in vocational courses
• Assign design challenges: increase payload capacity, change belt speed, or add sensors
• Encourage cross-disciplinary projects combining engineering, coding (optional motor controllers), and design

Assembly tips and safety

• Follow the step-by-step manual for correct shaft and gear alignment to prevent premature wear.
• Secure the battery holder and switch before initial power-on to avoid loose connections.
• Supervise younger students when handling small hardware and electrical components.
• Use the adjustable tension to avoid slipping but do not overtighten to protect bearings and belts.

Frequently asked questions

• Is soldering required? No. Parts are pre-cut and the kit is designed for tool-free or low-tool assembly.
• Can the kit be powered by an external power supply? Yes. While the kit is battery operated (3V–5V), a suitable DC power supply can be used for extended demos.
• Can students modify the kit? Yes. The kit supports experimentation such as changing gear ratios, belt materials, or adding simple sensor modules.
