Push Pull Balance
Model Number: MTM-07
The Push Pull Balance from Micro Technologies is a mechanical force-measuring instrument designed for mass and force activities involving both pushing and pulling actions. It is dual calibrated in grams and Newtons and is available in six measuring capacities ranging from 250 g / 2.5 N to 5000 g / 50 N, making it suitable for a variety of physics and mechanics laboratory experiments.
Product Specification
The Push Pull Balance from Micro Technologies is designed for practical laboratory activities requiring measurement and comparison of applied mechanical forces. Unlike a conventional hanging spring balance primarily used with suspended loads, this instrument is configured for experiments involving both push and pull forces.
The balance incorporates a spring-based mechanical measuring system that responds to force applied along its measuring axis. This allows users to investigate forces acting in different directions using a compact and straightforward laboratory instrument.
A major advantage of the Push Pull Balance is its dual calibration in grams and Newtons. The Newton scale provides direct force readings, while the gram scale provides a familiar mass-related reference for laboratory activities.
The instrument is available in six capacities: 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. Laboratories can therefore select a range appropriate to the expected experimental force.
The lower-capacity models are useful for experiments involving relatively small forces, while higher-capacity configurations can accommodate forces up to 50 N.
For pulling-force investigations, the balance can be connected to a suitable object using its attachment arrangement. As the user pulls the object, the applied force can be observed directly from the graduated scale.
The apparatus is also useful for friction experiments. By connecting the balance to a test object and pulling it across a selected surface, the force required to initiate or maintain movement can be investigated.
In suitable experimental arrangements, the instrument can be used to examine pushing or compression-type forces within its rated capacity. This makes it more versatile than measuring devices intended solely for suspended loads.
The Push Pull Balance can support investigations involving tension, resistance, mechanical interaction and force comparison. It can also be incorporated into experiments using blocks, strings, pulleys and other compatible mechanics accessories.
Its mechanical operation provides immediate readings without electronic sensors, batteries or an external power supply. This makes the balance convenient for routine laboratory work and repeated practical measurements.
The visible graduated scale allows changes in force to be observed as they occur, helping users relate physical movement and resistance to measurable force values.
For consistent results, force should be applied along the intended measuring direction without excessive sideways loading. The selected instrument should also have a capacity appropriate to the expected force.
Overloading beyond the specified measuring range should be avoided, as excessive force can permanently affect the spring mechanism and subsequent readings.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Push Pull Balance is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific facilities requiring a versatile mechanical instrument for push and pull force measurements.
