Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion
Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion (Product Code: SCL-279/011) is a simple centrifugal apparatus used to investigate centripetal force in school and college physics laboratories. A suspended metal body moves outward as the apparatus turns, and a vertically mounted pointer marks its displacement, so students can calculate the centripetal force from the mass, the speed of rotation and the radius. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Circular Motion Apparatus Used For?
Any object moving in a circle needs an inward force to keep it on its path. With this apparatus, students set the pointer at a chosen radius and increase the speed of rotation until the pointed tip of the suspended metal body lines up with it. At that point the body is travelling in a circle of known radius, and timing a number of turns gives the speed.
Using the mass of the body, its speed and the radius, the class calculates the centripetal force and can repeat the run with each of the three metal bodies to see how the required force grows with mass. It makes a clear force and motion experiment kit for senior secondary mechanics. Check that the thread is secure before each run, keep students clear of the rotating parts, and build the speed up gradually.
OEM Manufacturer
This circular motion apparatus is an original product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which acts as OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and builds it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Laboratories and distributors order directly from the maker instead of a reseller, so enquiries about replacement bodies, thread or further sets go straight to the maker — ask us. Read about the company on its profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion show?
The Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion shows that a body moving in a circle needs a centripetal force. Knowing the mass, the speed of rotation and the radius marked by the pointer, students calculate that force for each run.
What parts are included with the Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion?
The Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion is a simple centrifugal apparatus with three cylindrical metal bodies, a plastic rod, thread of 1.5 m / 2 m and a vertically mounted pointer that marks the displacement of the suspended mass.
How is the pointer used during the experiment?
On the Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion, the pointer is set at the chosen radius and moves laterally; the rotation speed is raised until the pointed tip of the suspended mass lines up with it, fixing the radius of the circular path.
What else is needed to run the circular motion experiment?
To calculate results with the Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion, a stopwatch to time the rotations and a balance to weigh the metal bodies are useful. Neither is listed as part of this item, so ask us to include them in the quotation.
Who manufactures the Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion?
The Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
How can we order the circular motion apparatus in bulk?
For bulk orders of the Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion, send the number of sets, any extra items such as stopwatches, and the delivery location through the contact page. ScienceLab supplies India and international markets.
