Working Principle

Electric current flows through the coil when the switch is ON, and the iron core acts as an electromagnet. The

iron core attracts the hammer towards it. The hammer hits the bell and produces a sound. The circuit breaks at the screw contact when the hammer moves towards the iron core. At this point, the iron core ceases to be an electromagnet. The hammer is pulled back to its original position due to the spring action of the steel rod, and then touches the contact again to complete the circuit. The circuit is completed and current flows through the coil again, and the hammer strikes the bell again. The process repeats itself and you hear a ringing sound since the hammer keeps hitting the bell, until the switch is released.

Assembly Instructions

Take base board. Fix 4 foam pieces at 4 corners of the board from bottom side after removing release paper from tape attached to each piece. Fix 3 'L' shaped brackets to board using bolts & nuts. Insert a long bolt into the rightmost hole from bottom side of board. Fix it firmly with board using a nut from top side. Insert one more nut in the bolt and bring it approximately to the centre of the bolt.

Hold the electromagnet horizontally with two electrical terminals on top. Insert 'U' shaped metal bracket over the threaded portion of iron core. Pass remaining threaded portion of iron core through the top hole of L shaped bracket on the board and fix it tightly using a nut.

Take a bolt. Pass it through top hole of the leftmost 'L' bracket from front side. Insert hammer over the threaded portion of bolt keeping copper plate in the front. Keep hammer perfectly horizontal to board and then fix it tightly to bracket using a nut. Insert semi-circular metal dome in the long bolt. It will rest on the nut. Now adjust the height of the dome (by adjusting position of the nut) such that the circular part at

       the end of the hammer can strike the bell dome from side. Put-in one more             nut from top of the bolt to fix the dome in place. Keep small gap between                 dome and round part of hammer so that hammer can vibrate freely. This gap         can be increased or decreased by rotating the dome
