Inertia Table
Product Code : LSK-AM-11087
Inertia Table (SKU LSK-AM-11087) is a torsion-suspended table for finding the moment of inertia of an irregular body by the dynamical method. The body is placed on a grooved aluminium disc hanging from a steel wire, and the change in its period of oscillation gives the result. B.Sc. and engineering physics labs use it in rotational mechanics practicals. Science Lab Supplies fabricates the table at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and quotes it straight to colleges, schools, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The table is an aluminium disc of about 6 inches (roughly 15 cm) diameter with a groove holding three masses. It hangs by a steel wire from the centre of a tall framework whose circular base is fitted with levelling screws, so the disc can swing freely in a horizontal plane.

Applications and Experiments for the Inertia Table
The inertia table determines the moment of inertia of an irregular body about an axis through its centre of gravity and perpendicular to its plane. The period of oscillation is timed first for the table alone and then with the body placed on it. It belongs to B.Sc. and engineering mechanics lab equipment in India.
- B.Sc. physics: moment of inertia of an irregular lamina by the dynamical method.
- B.Tech engineering physics: torsional oscillations and rotational inertia.
- Polytechnic applied mechanics: rotational inertia of flat bodies.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Inertia Table comes with the grooved aluminium disc, its three masses, the steel suspension wire and the long framework on a circular base with levelling screws. The irregular body under test and a stopwatch for timing the oscillations are provided by the laboratory.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quotation for one inertia table or several for a practical batch. Each quote sets out the packing, delivery time and price that apply to your quantity, and other rotational mechanics apparatus from the same range can be combined on it.
As a holder of an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. You may enquire through the enquiry cart or the contact page; tender details are on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Inertia Table measure?
It measures the moment of inertia of an irregular body about an axis through its centre of gravity, perpendicular to its plane, by timing torsional oscillations of the loaded and unloaded table.
What is the disc made of and how large is it?
The disc is aluminium, approximately 6 inches (about 15 cm) in diameter, with a groove that holds the three masses supplied with the table. The same disc is the platform on which the irregular body is placed.
How is the table levelled?
The framework stands on a circular base fitted with levelling screws. Adjust these screws until the framework is upright and the suspended disc hangs horizontally, then start timing the oscillations.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Manufacturer. The Inertia Table is produced by Science Lab Supplies in its factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and buyers deal with the factory directly for quotations.
