ESAL Mechanical Spring Balance
Product Code : SCL-AM-12257
ESAL Mechanical Spring Balance (SKU SCL-AM-12257) measures force and suspended load by the stretch of a spring read against a graduated scale, with no batteries or power supply. It serves weight, tension, friction and Hooke's law activities in school and college physics labs and STEM classrooms. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, and confirms the exact capacity and scale of the supplied model on each quotation.
Specifications
The known details of the balance are listed in the table below. In outline, it is a purely mechanical instrument hung from a top suspension loop, with the load attached to a bottom hook; spring extension moves an indicator along the scale. Capacity, graduation and scale units are stated on the quotation for the model supplied.

Applications and Experiments for the Mechanical Spring Balance
A spring balance turns an invisible force into a reading students can record. Hung vertically, it gives the weight of a suspended object; pulled horizontally, it measures the force needed to drag a block or pull a cart, making it everyday mechanics lab equipment in India for school and college practicals.
- Class 9 science: force, weight and mass, checking readings against the Mass Set with Hangers.
- Class 11 physics: spring extension under load and Hooke's law, within the balance's capacity.
- Friction and incline work, pulling a block or roller up the Inclined Plane.
- Tension in strings and simple pulley systems, with results entered in observation tables and graphs.
Check the zero with no load, never exceed the capacity, and avoid jerks, swinging loads or sideways pulls that can deform the spring.
Standard Scope of Supply
The supply is one ESAL Mechanical Spring Balance. Any instruction sheet, storage box or spare hook supplied with the chosen model is listed on the quotation. Masses, stands and pulleys are separate items and can be added to the same quotation for a complete mechanics bench.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Request a quotation for one balance or for a set covering every group in the class. Science Lab Supplies confirms the capacity and scale of the model offered, together with packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and masses or force tables can be included.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. To enquire, open the contact page or add the balance to the enquiry cart; procurement by tender is described on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ESAL Mechanical Spring Balance used for?
It measures force, load, pull, tension or suspended mass in supervised physics and mechanics experiments, from weighing hanging objects to measuring friction and string tension on the bench.
What capacity and scale does it have?
Capacity, graduation and units (newtons, grams or kilograms) depend on the model supplied. Tell us the range your practical needs through the contact page, and the quotation will state the confirmed scale.
Can it be used for Hooke's law experiments?
Yes. Used within its elastic range and capacity, a spring balance shows that extension rises in proportion to the load, which supports Hooke's law demonstrations and graph work.
Who supplies the ESAL Mechanical Spring Balance?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, STEM labs and distributors, and can quote it together with masses, dynamometers and other mechanics apparatus.
