Moment of Force Apparatus with Weights
Model Number: MTM-112
The Moment of Force Apparatus with Weights is a laboratory mechanics setup used to investigate the relationship between force, distance, equilibrium, and turning effect around a pivot. Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with a centrally supported beam that functions as a two-arm lever, along with movable riders and suitable weights for creating different loading conditions. The position of each load can be read from the integrated scale, allowing force and lever-arm relationships to be evaluated during practical experiments. Its stable base, adjustable components, and reusable weight arrangement make it suitable for regular laboratory operation. The apparatus is well suited to physics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, training laboratories, and institutional procurement.
Product Specification
The Moment of Force Apparatus with Weights is a practical laboratory instrument for investigating moments, torque, equilibrium, and the mechanical behaviour of a loaded lever. A centrally supported horizontal beam forms a two-arm lever, providing a clear arrangement for applying forces at different distances from the pivot. By changing the position and magnitude of the applied loads, different equilibrium conditions can be established and compared experimentally.
Movable riders are positioned along the lever and used with the supplied weights to create controlled loading arrangements. The graduated scale allows the distance of each load from the pivot to be determined directly. This makes it possible to compare clockwise and anticlockwise moments and experimentally examine the relationship between force and perpendicular distance from the turning point.
Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with attention to structural stability, smooth rider movement, readable graduations, secure load placement, and dependable mechanical construction. The rigid base provides stable support during experimental work, while the straightforward lever mechanism allows adjustments to be made quickly. Its mechanical operation also keeps maintenance requirements low and supports repeated use over an extended service period.
The Moment of Force Apparatus with Weights can be used for practical investigations involving the principle of moments, lever equilibrium, torque, balancing of forces, force-distance relationships, and related mechanics applications. Experimental values can be obtained from the applied weights and their measured positions, allowing theoretical moment calculations to be compared with observed equilibrium conditions.
Its reusable weights, movable components, stable construction, and uncomplicated operation provide strong long-term procurement value. The apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories, institutional projects, laboratory equipment distributors, universities, colleges, and facilities requiring dependable equipment for mechanics experiments.

FAQs
What is a Moment of Force Apparatus used for?
A Moment of Force Apparatus is used to investigate the turning effect produced when a force acts at a distance from a pivot. It supports practical experiments involving torque, equilibrium, lever arms, and the principle of moments.
How does the apparatus demonstrate the principle of moments?
Weights are positioned at measured distances on either side of the central pivot. Their positions can be adjusted until equilibrium is achieved, allowing clockwise and anticlockwise moments to be calculated and compared.
Are weights supplied with the apparatus?
Yes. The apparatus is supplied with suitable weights and movable loading components for carrying out standard moment and equilibrium experiments. Weight configurations may vary according to the selected version.
How are distances measured during the experiment?
The horizontal lever incorporates a graduated scale. The position of each applied load can therefore be read relative to the pivot and used when calculating the corresponding moment.
Does the apparatus require calibration?
The apparatus is primarily mechanical. The graduated scale and masses should be periodically checked or verified when higher measurement traceability is required, while the pivot and lever should remain correctly aligned.
How accurate is the Moment of Force Apparatus?
Its performance depends on accurate load positioning, readable graduations, verified masses, and correct lever alignment. Proper setup helps provide consistent results for standard laboratory investigations of moments and equilibrium.
Is the apparatus durable enough for repeated use?
Yes. Its rigid base, metal lever assembly, movable riders, and reusable weights make it suitable for routine laboratory operation. Correct handling and storage further improve service life.
Can additional or replacement weights be supplied?
Replacement or additional weights can be supplied according to compatibility and order requirements. Buyers can specify the required weight configuration when requesting a quotation.
Can the apparatus be ordered in bulk?
Yes. Bulk supply is available for universities, colleges, laboratory projects, distributors, procurement agencies, and other institutional requirements.
Can the configuration be customized?
Certain lever, weight, base, graduation, or packaging requirements may be customized depending on quantity and manufacturing feasibility. Specifications can be discussed when submitting an RFQ.
How should the apparatus be maintained?
Keep the lever, pivot, riders, and weights clean and dry. Periodically inspect the pivot movement, graduation markings, weight condition, and base stability to maintain dependable experimental performance.
How is the apparatus packed for shipping?
The lever assembly, base, riders, and weights can be securely packed to minimize movement and physical damage during transportation. Suitable bulk and export packaging can also be arranged.
