Air-Cushion Table
Product Code : SCL-PL-11941
Air-Cushion Table (SKU SCL-PL-11941) is a 935 x 750 mm two-dimensional motion table on which two inkjet pucks glide and record their paths on DIN A1 paper, so students can analyse collisions, circular and accelerated motion from a printed trace. It suits senior secondary physics and first-year college mechanics labs. Science Lab Supplies supplies the table from Ambala, India, serving schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each inkjet puck is 100 mm in diameter and 95 mm high and weighs about 365 g without battery and ink cartridge. The pucks run on 9 V NiMH batteries of 300 mAh, and an infrared remote control, a power supply and two humidifier bases complete the system.

Applications and Experiments for the Air-Cushion Table
Because the pucks move on an air cushion with little friction and print their own tracks, each run leaves a permanent record that students can measure with a ruler. This suits laws of motion, momentum and circular motion topics in Class 11 physics and B.Sc. mechanics practicals.
- Elastic and inelastic collisions, using the foam rings and Velcro tapes for inelastic impacts.
- Uniformly accelerated motion with the return pulley, rope and three 5 cN weights.
- Motion on an incline with the inclined-movement kit.
- Circular motion and the gravitational movement of two coupled pucks.
Standard Scope of Supply
The table comes with 50 sheets of A1 paper, two inkjet pucks, two ink cartridges, two 9 V NiMH batteries, a power supply, two humidifier bases, the remote control, the five accessory kits, two foam rings, two Velcro tapes, two additional weights and an airtight box for the cartridges.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
We can quote one table for a mechanics lab or several for a department; the quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other mechanics lab equipment in India can be priced at the same time.
Registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. Start with a message on the contact page or an enquiry cart request; the lab tender page covers institutional tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the air-cushion table record motion?
The two inkjet pucks print their paths onto DIN A1 paper laid on the table, so positions can be measured afterwards; 50 sheets and two cartridges are included.
What powers the pucks?
Each puck uses a 9 V NiMH battery of 300 mAh; two batteries and a power supply are part of the set.
Who supplies the Air-Cushion Table?
It is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, and quotes it as a complete set with paper, cartridges and the accessory kits.
Can collisions be made inelastic?
Yes. Two foam rings and two Velcro tapes are provided to turn a collision between the pucks into an inelastic one.
Related Low-Friction Motion Apparatus
Air-supported systems let students study motion with friction almost removed. These Physics Lab items extend that idea to linear, rotational and circular motion and can join the table on one quotation.
- Air Track — one-dimensional low-friction motion.
- Air-Flow Generator for Air Track — the air source for the track.
- Air-Bearing Rotational System — rotational motion on an air bearing.
- Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion — a separate circular-motion demonstration.
