Mechanical Dynamometer with Upper and Lower Hooks
Product Code : SCL-CL-11857
Mechanical Dynamometer with Upper and Lower Hooks (SKU SCL-CL-11857) is a spring-type force meter, often called a newton meter or spring balance, reading 0–20 N with 3% accuracy. A swivel top hook suspends it and a lower hook takes the load, while a clear scale gives quick readings. It serves physics laboratories and general weighing. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory equipment supplier in India, delivers it from Ambala to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The dynamometer measures forces from 0 to 20 newtons, equal to the weight of roughly 2 kg, with an accuracy of 3%. It carries hooks at the top and bottom for secure hanging and load attachment, a swivel top hook for stable positioning, and a clear, easy-to-read scale.

Applications and Experiments for the Mechanical Dynamometer
The meter reads pulling and hanging forces in newtons, so students can measure weight, friction, tension and buoyancy directly. Its 0–20 N range covers most loads met in school and introductory college mechanics, and it doubles as a simple balance for general weighing tasks.
- Middle and secondary science: measuring the weight of objects and distinguishing mass from weight.
- CBSE Class 11 physics practical: measuring the pulling force on a block to find the coefficient of friction.
- Class 9 science on floatation: measuring the loss of weight of an object immersed in water to illustrate Archimedes' principle.
- Simple machines: reading the effort in lever and pulley experiments.
Standard Scope of Supply
The instrument is supplied as a single dynamometer with its upper swivel hook, lower load hook and scale, as described above. Weights, friction blocks and stands for mounting are separate items that can be added to the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Price requests can be for one force meter or a full class set. Each quotation shows packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you specify, and school chemistry lab equipment in India from the same range, such as weights or blocks, can be added.
Under its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Ask a question on the contact page, gather items in the enquiry cart, or view the lab tender page for larger purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range and accuracy of this dynamometer?
It reads from 0 to 20 newtons with an accuracy of 3%, which is suitable for classroom force, weight and friction measurements.
Is a dynamometer the same as a spring balance?
Yes, in school use the terms overlap. This mechanical dynamometer works on a spring and shows force in newtons, which is why it is also called a newton meter.
Who supplies the Mechanical Dynamometer with Upper and Lower Hooks?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, quoting it separately or within a complete physics laboratory order.
What is the swivel top hook for?
The swivel lets the meter hang freely and settle straight under the load, so the reading is stable and the scale can face the reader.
Related Force Measurement Equipment
A force meter is used with something to pull or weigh. These four items give it work to do in friction, buoyancy and elasticity practicals and are commonly ordered together for school physics benches.
- Block with Hook — friction block pulled with the dynamometer.
- Weights with Hooks — known loads for checking and weighing.
- Archimedes Bucket — for demonstrating buoyant force.
- Spring Set — five springs of different stiffness for Hooke's law.
