Aluminium Tubular Spring Balance
Model Number: MTE-06
The Aluminium Tubular Spring Balance from Micro Technologies is a mechanical measuring instrument designed for force, weight and tension measurements in physics and mechanics laboratories. It features an aluminium tubular body, zero adjustment, dual graduations in grams and Newtons, upper and lower suspension hooks, and graduations printed on the inner tube. Seven measuring capacities are available from 100 g / 1 N to 5000 g / 50 N.
Product Specification
The Aluminium Tubular Spring Balance from Micro Technologies is designed for practical force, weight and tension measurements in physics and mechanics laboratory applications. Its tubular metal construction provides a compact and durable configuration suitable for repeated experimental use.
The instrument incorporates an aluminium tubular body containing a spring-based mechanical measuring mechanism. When a load is applied to the lower suspension hook, the internal spring responds to the applied force and produces a corresponding indication on the graduated inner tube.
The measuring scale is provided in both grams and Newtons, allowing the same instrument series to support experiments involving load values and force measurements. This dual-scale arrangement is particularly useful for demonstrating the relationship between mass-related loading and gravitational force.
An important feature of the instrument is its zero adjustment facility. Before beginning an experiment, the indication can be set to the appropriate starting reference, helping improve consistency during comparative measurements.
The Spring Balance incorporates upper and lower suspension hooks. The upper hook allows the instrument to be suspended from a compatible laboratory stand or support, while the lower hook provides an attachment point for masses, objects, strings and other experimental loads.
The graduations are provided on the inner tube, creating a clearly defined reference for reading the applied load. The tubular arrangement also helps keep the internal measuring mechanism aligned during normal operation.
A broad selection of capacities is available for different experimental requirements. The series includes 100 g / 1 N, 250 g / 2.5 N, 500 g / 5 N, 1000 g / 10 N, 2000 g / 20 N, 3000 g / 30 N and 5000 g / 50 N versions.
This range allows laboratories to select a suitable instrument according to the expected force. Lower-capacity versions are useful for lighter experimental loads, while higher-capacity models accommodate larger forces up to 50 N.
The Aluminium Tubular Spring Balance can be incorporated into experiments involving tension, friction, pulling force and mechanical equilibrium. Its hook arrangement makes integration with strings, pulleys, masses and other mechanics apparatus straightforward.
In friction experiments, the balance can be connected to a suitable object and used to observe the force required to initiate or maintain motion across a surface. This provides a simple mechanical method for investigating frictional forces.
The instrument can also support suitable demonstrations related to spring behaviour and Hooke's law. Within the intended operating range, the response of the spring provides a practical context for discussing the relationship between applied force and elastic deformation.
For pulley experiments, the balance can be incorporated into compatible arrangements to investigate tension and mechanical forces under different loading conditions.
Because the measuring mechanism is entirely mechanical, the instrument requires no batteries, sensors or external electrical power. This makes it convenient for routine laboratory measurements and repeated practical experiments.
For reliable performance, loads should remain within the rated capacity of the selected model. Overloading should be avoided because excessive spring extension can affect the zero position and subsequent measurement performance.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Aluminium Tubular Spring Balance is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific facilities requiring durable mechanical force-measuring instruments.
