Universal Force Table

Product Code : LSK-AM-11106

Universal Force Table (SKU LSK-AM-11106) is a 40 cm aluminium disc graduated in 360 degrees, with four sliding clamp pulleys and a central ring, on which hanging weights pull strings in chosen directions until the ring sits balanced at the centre. It is used to verify the triangle, parallelogram and polygon laws of forces. Science Lab Supplies makes the table in its Saha, Ambala factory (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area) and supplies schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors without a middleman.

Specifications

All technical details of the force table are set out below. In brief, a circular 40 cm aluminium disc graduated through 360 degrees stands on levelling screws, carries four sliding clamp pulleys, and comes with a central ring, string and four sets of 50 g slotted weights, each set with its own hanger.

Applications and Experiments for the Universal Force Table

The table lets students set up three or four concurrent forces, read their directions on the 360-degree scale and check that the ring stays centred when the forces are in equilibrium. It is standard school physics lab equipment in India for vector addition and an engineering mechanics practical at college level.

• Class 11 physics: verifying the triangle and parallelogram laws of vector addition with three strings and pulleys.
• Polygon of forces with all four pulleys, then cross-checking the angles drawn on paper against the Parallelogram Force Apparatus.
• Engineering mechanics and B.Sc. practicals: Lami’s theorem and the resultant of concurrent forces, with tensions checked on a Set of Spring Force Meters.

Level the disc with its screws before each reading. Larger loads than the supplied 50 g pieces can come from the Laboratory Slotted Masses, 2.5 kg.

Standard Scope of Supply

The Universal Force Table is delivered with the 40 cm graduated aluminium disc on levelling screws, four sliding clamp pulleys, a central ring, string, and four sets of slotted weights, each holding nine 50 g slotted weights and one 50 g hanger. A protractor or paper for drawing force diagrams is not included.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Order a single force table for the teacher’s desk or one for each practical group; the quotation from Science Lab Supplies covers packing, delivery time and price for exactly that quantity. Extra slotted weights, spring balances or pulleys can be listed on the same document.

With an Importer-Exporter Code in place, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria and Kenya. Requests go through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and tender buyers can start from the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which laws can be verified on this force table?
It is designed for experimentally verifying the triangle law, the parallelogram law and the polygon law of forces, using up to four strings over the sliding clamp pulleys around the 360-degree disc.

How many weights come with the table?
Four sets are supplied. Each set has nine slotted weights and one hanger, all of 50 g, giving 36 slotted weights and four hangers, or 2 kg of load in total.

Why does the table have levelling screws?
The disc must be horizontal so that each string pulls only in the plane of the table. The levelling screws let you correct an uneven bench before the angles are read from the graduated aluminium disc.

Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures the force table itself in Saha, Ambala, India. Buyers deal with the factory directly, and every quotation for this table is prepared there.
