Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever (Product Code: SLE/PHY/18) is a meter-stick lever set used to teach the relationship between the length of a lever arm, the moment of a force and the amount of force, in school physics labs. With a meter stick, a stand, three knife-edge clamps and 50 gram and 100 gram hooked weights, students balance real loads and see the law of moments at work. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

One knife-edge clamp on the meter stick rests on the stand as the fulcrum, and the other two clamps carry the 50 gram and 100 gram hooked weights. Students slide the weights along the stick until it balances, then read each distance from the fulcrum straight off the stick's scale. They soon find that the 50 gram weight must hang twice as far from the pivot as the 100 gram weight, because the moments on either side must be equal: force multiplied by distance on the left equals force multiplied by distance on the right.
Moving the fulcrum away from the centre brings the stick's own weight into play, which lets older students locate its centre of gravity or estimate its mass from the balance point. The set works well as a moment bar apparatus for school practicals and as a quick teacher demonstration of why a long spanner or crowbar makes work easier. Handle the knife edges carefully and keep them clean so the stick pivots freely.
ScienceLab is how Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades, and the company is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever. The set is manufactured at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, then supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers. Extra knife-edge clamps, replacement weights or repeat class sets are handled by the manufacturer itself, so just ask us. Read more on the company profile.

What does the Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever teach?
The Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever teaches the relationship between the length of a lever arm, the moment of force and the amount of force. By adjusting weights on the meter stick until it balances, students observe the law of torque, also called the principle of moments.
What parts are in the fulcrum and lever balance set?
The Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever consists of a meter stick, a stand, three knife-edge clamps, one 50 gram hooked weight and one 100 gram hooked weight. One clamp forms the fulcrum on the stand and the other two hold the weights on the stick.
How do students find the balance point with this lever set?
With the Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever, students move the hooked weights along the meter stick until it rests level, then read each distance from the fulcrum. Multiplying each weight by its distance shows that the moments on both sides are equal at equilibrium.
Who manufactures the Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures the Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is sold direct from the manufacturer to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Can more weights be used with the lever balance?
Yes. The Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever is supplied with one 50 gram and one 100 gram hooked weight, and extra hooked or slotted weights can be hung from the knife-edge clamps for further balancing problems. Ask ScienceLab to add suitable weights to your quotation.
How can a school order the fulcrum/lever balance in quantity?
Schools can order the Balance Demonstration Fulcrum/Lever, code SLE/PHY/18, in class-set quantities by sending the number of sets and delivery location through the contact page. ScienceLab supplies schools, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
