Ticker Tape Timer – 12V Black
Product Code : LSK-PL-10324
Ticker Tape Timer – 12V Black (SKU LSK-PL-10324) is the 12 V model of the laboratory ticker timer, in black. An electromagnet drives a striker that marks dots on a paper tape pulled by a moving object, giving students a permanent record of its motion for velocity and acceleration work in secondary and college physics. This 12 V unit is manufactured in Saha, Ambala, India, at the Science Lab Supplies factory (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area), whose sales desk quotes schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Voltage, colour, dot frequency and connections of the black 12 V timer appear below. In short, it is the 12 V version of a design also made as a 6 V unit; dots come at 50–60 Hz, following the mains frequency, are printed through a carbon disc onto the tape, and leads connect at 4 mm terminal sockets.

Applications and Experiments for the Ticker Tape Timer – 12V Black
The 12V black timer measures velocity and acceleration and serves as a general timing device. Each dot marks one mains cycle, so on a 50 Hz supply a dot is printed every 0.02 s and the distance between successive dots, read off a metre stick from the Measuring Rulers Set, is the distance covered in that time.
- Secondary-school physics: showing constant speed and steady acceleration as even and widening dot gaps.
- Class 11 mechanics: finding the acceleration of a trolley pulled by a falling mass from a Mass Set with Hangers (Newton's second law).
- Collisions: comparing velocities of trolleys before and after impact from their tapes.
- First-year college labs: timing short intervals where a stopwatch lacks resolution.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Ticker Tape Timer – 12V Black is supplied as a single unit as described above. Paper tape and carbon discs can be added to the quotation if you mention them on your enquiry, together with any trolleys or runways for the motion bench.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you need a single 12 V timer or a batch for a full mechanics class, send the quantity and the quotation will state packing, delivery time and price. Trolleys and runways can share that quotation, and it comes straight from a science apparatus manufacturer in India.
With an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Mechanics benches built around the 12 V timer can be enquired about on the contact page or itemised in the enquiry cart, with tendered purchases covered on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this model differ from the 6 V ticker timer?
Both versions share the electromagnet-driven striker, the carbon disc and the 50–60 Hz dot rate. This SKU is the 12 V unit in black, so it is connected to a 12 V supply.
What is the time between two dots?
The dot rate follows the mains frequency, so the interval is 0.02 s on a 50 Hz supply and about 0.017 s on a 60 Hz supply.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Every 12 V black timer is produced on the Science Lab Supplies shop floor in Saha, Ambala, India; the company is therefore the manufacturer, and prices reach you without a middleman.
Can the timer be quoted for a school tender?
Yes. Send the quantity, delivery location and tender specification, and Science Lab Supplies will return an item-wise quotation for the 12 V timers and any trolleys or tape listed with them.
