Apparatus Air Track Light Gate Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Apparatus Air Track Light Gate (Product Code: SLE/PHY/03) is an air-cushion linear track with photo light gates and a timer, used to study motion under virtually frictionless conditions in school and college mechanics labs. One to four carts ride on the air supplied by the blower, so teachers can run collision, momentum and acceleration experiments with electronic timing. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is the Air Track with Light Gates Used For?

With friction almost removed, the air track lets students test Newton’s laws and conservation principles with results that sit close to theory. Typical sessions include measuring velocity and acceleration as a cart passes the light gates, pulling a cart with a falling mass over an end pulley to relate force and acceleration, setting up incline runs, and colliding two carts to compare momentum before and after impact. That makes it a central item of mechanics lab equipment in India for senior secondary and undergraduate courses.

Level the track carefully before each run, since a slight tilt adds an unwanted acceleration. Switch the blower on before placing carts on the track and lift them off before switching it off, so cart and track surfaces do not rub. Load the attachable weights evenly to keep carts running straight, and fit the spring bumpers when students are studying impact forces at the ends.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of complete air track sets required for your laboratory
• How many carts you plan to run together (the apparatus allows one to four)
• Whether to add the Apparatus Air Track Part Kit of spare vehicles, buffers and catapults

OEM Manufacturer

This air track is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the apparatus. It is made and assembled at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought in from a trader, and is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, universities and dealers. Spare carts, bumpers and other replacement parts can be requested from the manufacturer itself; ask us. See our company profile for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with the Apparatus Air Track Light Gate?
The Apparatus Air Track Light Gate comes with a photo light gate system complete with timer and light gates, an accessories kit, a blower air source and high-precision pulleys for the track ends. Spring bumpers and cart weights attach as needed; confirm their quantities in your quotation.

How many carts can run on the air track at once?
The Apparatus Air Track Light Gate allows one to four carts to ride along its cushion of air, so it handles single-cart motion studies as well as two-cart collisions and multi-cart momentum demonstrations. Tell us how many carts you need when requesting a quote.

Can the air track be used for free-fall and incline experiments?
Yes, the Apparatus Air Track Light Gate includes high-precision pulleys that mount on the track ends, so a falling mass can pull a cart for free-fall and force studies, and the track can also be set up for incline experiments.

How does the light gate timing work on the air track?
On the Apparatus Air Track Light Gate, a cart passing through a light gate interrupts its beam and the timer records the time. From the length of the part that blocks the beam, students calculate velocity, and with two gates they can find the acceleration between them.

Who manufactures the Apparatus Air Track Light Gate?
The Apparatus Air Track Light Gate is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, spare parts and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer directly.

Is the Apparatus Air Track Light Gate available for export?
Yes, the Apparatus Air Track Light Gate can be quoted for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Share the number of sets, the delivery country and any accessories required through our contact page to receive a quotation.
