The Gerber Beam Apparatus, manufactured by Atto Labware, is an educational trainer designed to demonstrate the behavior of a Gerber (cantilever-suspended) beam under various loading conditions. It provides hands-on learning for students to study reactions, shear forces, bending moments, and deflections in continuous beams, making it ideal for engineering colleges, technical institutes, and vocational training centers.

Educational Objectives
Students will be able to:

• Understand the principle and construction of a Gerber beam.

• Study reactions and internal forces in a continuous beam.

• Analyze shear force and bending moment distribution.

• Observe the effect of loads on beam deflection and stability.

• Verify theoretical calculations through practical experiments.

Performance Measurement

• Demonstration of load distribution on a Gerber beam.

• Measurement of shear force and bending moment.

• Observation of beam deflections under different loads.

• Validation of theoretical and graphical methods with experiments.

• Analysis of beam stability and structural response.

Panel and Instruments / Components

• Rigid base frame with Gerber beam model.

• Supports for simply supported and continuous beam conditions.

• Load hangers with calibrated weights.

• Scales and measuring devices for deflection and force.

• Instructional panel and manuals for guided learning.

• Durable, portable, and safe design for laboratory use.
