Five measuring capacities are available from 100 g to 2000 g, allowing laboratories to select the appropriate range for different mechanics experiments.
Product Specification
The Tubular Brass Spring Balance from Micro Technologies is designed for straightforward mechanical measurement of force and suspended loads in physics and mechanics laboratory applications. Its tubular construction provides a compact measuring arrangement suitable for repeated experimental use.
The instrument incorporates a brass barrel containing a spring-based measuring mechanism. When a load is attached to the lower hook, the applied force produces extension of the internal spring and a corresponding indication on the graduated scale.
An adjustable zero arrangement enables the instrument to be set to the correct starting reference before measurement. This feature is particularly useful when comparative readings are required during laboratory experiments.
The upper suspension ring provides a convenient mounting point for holding the balance vertically or attaching it to a compatible laboratory stand. The lower hook allows test masses, objects and experimental accessories to be connected easily.
Multiple capacities are available to accommodate different measurement requirements. The series includes 100 g × 1 g, 200 g × 2 g, 500 g × 5 g, 1000 g × 10 g and 2000 g × 20 g configurations.
Selecting the appropriate measuring range allows the instrument to be matched with the expected experimental load. Lower-capacity models provide finer scale divisions for lighter loads, while higher-capacity models accommodate heavier objects.
The Tubular Brass Spring Balance can be used in experiments involving force, tension, friction and mechanical equilibrium. Its simple load-and-read operation makes it convenient for integration into a wide variety of mechanics setups.
In suitable friction experiments, the balance may be connected to an object and used to observe the pulling force required to initiate or maintain motion across a surface.
It can also be incorporated into pulley and tension experiments, where the force acting through a string or mechanical arrangement needs to be observed.
The spring-based construction additionally provides a practical context for discussing the relationship between applied force and elastic deformation. Measurements should always remain within the rated capacity of the selected balance.
The tubular brass body provides a robust mechanical configuration while maintaining a relatively compact profile for laboratory handling and storage.
Since the instrument operates mechanically, it requires no battery, sensor or electrical power supply. This makes it convenient for routine laboratory measurements and demonstrations.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Tubular Brass Spring Balance is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific facilities requiring a reusable mechanical force-measuring instrument.

FAQs
What is a Tubular Brass Spring Balance used for?
It is used for force, suspended-load and tension measurements in physics and mechanics laboratory experiments.
What material is the barrel made from?
The tubular barrel is constructed from brass, providing a robust mechanical housing for the measuring mechanism.
What measuring capacities are available?
Available capacities are 100 g, 200 g, 500 g, 1000 g and 2000 g.
What graduations are available?
The respective graduations are 1 g, 2 g, 5 g, 10 g and 20 g, depending on the selected capacity.
Does the Spring Balance have zero adjustment?
Yes. An adjustable zero facility is provided to establish the starting reference before measurement.
What is the suspension ring used for?
The upper suspension ring allows the instrument to be held or mounted vertically from a suitable laboratory stand or support.
Can it be used for friction experiments?
Yes. The lower hook can be connected to a suitable object to investigate pulling force and frictional resistance.
