Wankel Engine Model (Product Code: SLE/MCE/66) is a sectioned rotary-engine model used to show how a triangular rotor produces the working phases inside a stator, in automotive and mechanical engineering lessons. Turned by a crank handle, the light metal model has a small bulb that lights up at the compression phase to simulate gas ignition. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

As the crank turns, each flank of the triangular rotor sweeps round the stator and students can watch the chamber between rotor and housing grow and shrink through intake, compression, power and exhaust — with no up-and-down piston or poppet valves. The bulb lights at the compression phase, marking the point where a spark would fire the mixture.
Setting this model beside a reciprocating engine section helps students see why rotary engines are compact and smooth, and where their sealing challenges lie. Being light metal and only about 7 kg, it is easy to pass round a small group, making it useful technical educational equipment for engine theory classes.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, operating under the ScienceLab name, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Wankel Engine Model. Each model is made at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold factory-direct, so colleges, training centres, dealers and importers get quotations straight from the maker. Additional units for a class set, or a replacement part, can be requested from the same manufacturer — ask us. More background is on the ScienceLab profile.

How does the Wankel Engine Model show the engine cycle?
The Wankel Engine Model shows the cycle through a triangular rotor, operated by the driving shaft, that rotates inside the stator. As the crank handle is turned, the sectioned housing clearly shows the different phases taking place in the chambers around the rotor.
Does the Wankel Engine Model show ignition?
Yes. On the Wankel Engine Model, a small bulb lights up during the compression phase to simulate gas ignition, helping students link the rotor position to the moment the mixture would be fired.
How is the Wankel Engine Model operated?
The Wankel Engine Model is operated manually by a crank handle. The instructor can turn it slowly, pause at each phase and point out the rotor, the chambers and the colour-coded fuel system parts.
What is the Wankel Engine Model made of, and how big is it?
The Wankel Engine Model is of light metal construction, mounted on a base, and measures 350 × 400 × 300 mm with a weight of about 7 kg, so it is easy to carry to any classroom.
Who manufactures the Wankel Engine Model?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM of the Wankel Engine Model, making it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and any spare-part requests are handled directly by the manufacturer.
What should I include when requesting a quotation for the Wankel Engine Model?
