PB-1 Torque Amplification Bracket

PB-1 Torque Amplification Bracket

The PB-1 is an S shaped torque amplification bracket that when combined with the Q10B tactile transducer will exert a  unheard level of tactile output on your chair, couch, or platform.

The PB-1 bracket works by harnessing the power of leverage. Leverage works by trading distance of a lever with weight times movement – the longer the lever the more weight can be lifted by a smaller weight traveling a longer distance. Discovered in ancient times and put into mathematical equation and thus history by Archimedes.

It is important that PB-1 only be used on objects that are very firm and offer solid mounting. If the chair or couch to be shaken is too easily shaken the tactile unit will move in a slight circle pattern instead of a straight up and down motion. This can cause the inner piston of the Q10B to hit the cylinder casing resulting in an unwanted noise output.

Mounting the Q10B to a Platform

When designing your custom platform, be sure to allow 1-1/2 to 2 feet of space around the outer perimeter of the chairs or couch. This much space is not required in between the chairs.

All platforms should be constructed with no less than 1/2″ plywood and built sturdy for some seriously high speed entertainment. Also, the use of rubber stabilizers is an excellent way to eliminate rattles and vibrations that may cause
valuables to fall off the walls or shelves. In addition, the rubber feet will provide a great suspension, allowing the Q10B to really shine.

The optional PB-1 multiplier bracket can be installed underneath or inside couches or chairs, but it is more effective when mounted directly to a platform. Once it has been mounted to the platform, you may then move a chair or couch over it for a more plush cosmetic appearance.
