Lever/Force into Force Arm Apparatus
Product Code : LSK-AM-11085
Lever/Force into Force Arm Apparatus (SKU LSK-AM-11085) is a lever balance for verifying the principle of moments: force multiplied by its arm on one side equals the same product on the other. A centre-pivoted, graduated aluminium beam and sliding hooks let students vary loads and distances quickly. The apparatus is made by Science Lab Supplies at its Plot 448 works in the HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and supplied direct to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The beam is a half-metre aluminium strip pivoted at its centre on a stone agate knife edge. It is painted and then screen printed as a 25-0-25 cm scale with zero at the middle. Two plastic hooks slide along the scale to carry slotted weights, and the assembly stands on a sheet metal stand.

Applications and Experiments for the Lever/Force into Force Arm Apparatus
The apparatus is used to show that a lever balances when clockwise and anticlockwise moments are equal. Students hang slotted weights at different distances, read the arms from the centre-zero scale and check the products. It suits middle-school simple machines, Class 11 rotational equilibrium and mechanics lab equipment in India for diplomas.
- Middle-school science: levers, effort, load and fulcrum.
- Class 11 physics: principle of moments and conditions for rotational equilibrium.
- Polytechnic and ITI applied mechanics: verifying the law of the lever.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set includes the half-metre aluminium beam with its 25-0-25 cm printed scale, the stone agate knife edge, two sliding plastic hooks and the sheet metal stand. Slotted weights are not included and need to be ordered separately or taken from existing lab stock.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask us to quote one lever set or a batch for every bench in a physics or mechanics lab. The quotation confirms packing, delivery time and price for the requested quantity, and slotted weights or other mechanics apparatus can be priced on it at the same time.
Science Lab Supplies is registered with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. Use the lab tender page for tender supply, or send a request through the contact page or enquiry cart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are weights supplied with the Lever/Force into Force Arm Apparatus?
No. The apparatus is supplied without weights. The two plastic hooks are designed to carry slotted weights, which can be added to your quotation or taken from the lab's existing sets.
How is the scale marked?
The half-metre aluminium beam is screen printed as 25-0-25 cm, with zero at the centre over the knife edge, so each load's distance from the pivot is read directly.
Why is the pivot an agate knife edge?
An agate knife edge gives a hard, narrow bearing at the centre of the beam, which keeps friction at the pivot low so small differences in moment show up clearly.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures this lever apparatus in its Saha, Ambala factory in India. Quotations and dispatch are handled by the company directly, with no trading intermediary.
