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 classic laboratory ticker timer, listed 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. The unit is produced by Science Lab Supplies in its Ambala factory (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha), which quotes it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
This listing is the 12 V version; the same timer design is also offered as a 6 V unit. Dots are produced at 50–60 Hz, following the mains frequency, and are printed through a carbon disc onto the tape. Electrical connection is by 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 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 (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; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation. Paper tape and carbon discs are not named in the specification, so mention them on your enquiry if they are needed.
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). The enquiry cart and contact page both reach the sales desk, and the lab tender page covers tender enquiries.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this model differ from the 6 V ticker timer?
Both share the same striker, carbon disc and 50–60 Hz dot rate. This listing is the 12 V unit in black.
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?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures this timer. Production is carried out at the Saha, Ambala factory in India, and prices are quoted without a middleman.
Can the timer be quoted for a school tender?
Yes. Send the quantity, delivery location and tender specification for an item-wise quotation.
