Floating Ring Magnet Apparatus
Product Code : LSK-M-11084
Floating Ring Magnet Apparatus (SKU LSK-M-11084) demonstrates magnetic repulsion: ring magnets threaded on a vertical rod with like poles facing each other hover apart instead of stacking. It gives primary and secondary science classes, and junior physics labs, a clear visual of forces acting without contact. Science Lab Supplies, a science apparatus manufacturer in India, builds the set at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, and supplies it itself to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The apparatus comprises five ceramic ring magnets, each with a 32 mm external diameter, and a wooden rod mounted on a base, giving an overall height of 150 mm. When the rings are placed on the rod so that they repel one another, the floating effect is immediately visible.

Applications and Experiments for the Floating Ring Magnet Apparatus
The set is used to show that like poles repel and that magnetic force can balance the weight of a magnet. Turning one ring over makes it snap onto its neighbour, so students see attraction and repulsion in one activity. It fits NCERT Class 6 magnets and Class 9 force topics.
- Class 6 science: like poles repel, unlike poles attract.
- Class 9 physics: balanced forces, with magnetic repulsion supporting each ring's weight.
- Observing how the gaps between rings change down the stack as the load on each ring increases.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Floating Ring Magnet Apparatus comes with five ceramic ring magnets of 32 mm external diameter and the wooden rod fixed on its base, 150 mm high overall. The set is ready to use as supplied; no further parts are needed for the basic repulsion demonstration.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be requested for one demonstration set or for enough sets for every group in a class. It lists packing, delivery time and price for that number, and extra ring magnets or other school physics lab equipment in India from our range may be added to the same quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many magnets come with the Floating Ring Magnet Apparatus?
Five ceramic ring magnets are included, each 32 mm in external diameter, together with the wooden rod on its base. Overall height of the assembled set is 150 mm.
Why do the rings float?
When neighbouring rings are placed with like poles facing, they repel. The repulsion pushes each ring up against gravity, so the rings hang in the air along the rod rather than resting on each other.
Can the rings be removed from the rod?
Yes. The rings lift off the rod so students can flip them and compare attraction with repulsion. Ceramic magnets can chip if they snap together sharply, so turn them over gently.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The apparatus is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies in its own factory at Saha, Ambala, India. You get a quotation straight from the maker, not from a reseller.
