Bosshead Aluminium Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Bosshead Aluminium (Product Code: SLE/BH/03) is a lightweight aluminium connector used to join a clamp, ring or cross rod to a stand rod at 90° in school and college laboratories. Teachers and lab assistants pick it for student stands because it is easy to carry, and it is listed with d/Ø 16,5, thread 8 and a choice of socket, thumb or heart-type safety screw. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) makes it as an OEM manufacturer at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Aluminium Bosshead Used For?

Aluminium is much lighter than steel or cast iron, so a tray of these bossheads is easy for students to carry to their benches and a finished stand is less likely to tip. That makes the aluminium bosshead a sensible pick for junior and secondary practicals: holding a thermometer clamp over a beaker, fixing a pendulum support rod, clamping a test tube for heating or attaching a ring for a filter funnel. Aluminium does not rust in ordinary lab conditions, so the fitting stays presentable with little care.

Match the screw style to the class: thumb screws let students change heights quickly, socket screws need a hex key and keep fixed setups from being altered, and the heart-type safety screw is intended to stay with the bosshead instead of going missing. Keep aluminium away from strong alkalis such as sodium hydroxide, which attack the metal, and rinse off any splash straight away. A light bosshead like this is standard physics lab equipment for school practical classes where assemblies are built and taken down within one period.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Screw type: socket screw, thumb screw or heart-type safety screw.
• Your stand-rod diameter, so that the d/Ø 16,5 and thread 8 listing can be confirmed as a fit.
• Quantity per lab or per student station, including spares.
• Any stands, rods or clamps you want quoted together with the bossheads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the Bosshead Aluminium over a steel or iron bosshead?
The Bosshead Aluminium is lighter than steel or cast iron versions and does not rust in normal lab use, which suits student stands, portable demonstration kits and classes where assemblies are built and dismantled every period.

What are the key dimensions of the Bosshead Aluminium?
The Bosshead Aluminium is catalogued with d/Ø 16,5 (sixteen and a half, written with a decimal comma), thread 8 and a 90° angle. Units for d/Ø are not stated in the listing, so share your rod diameter and ScienceLab will confirm the fit.

Which screw types are available for the Bosshead Aluminium?
The Bosshead Aluminium is listed with three screw options: a socket screw tightened with a hex key, a thumb screw for quick adjustment by hand, and a heart-type safety screw. Name your preferred screw in the enquiry so the quotation matches.

Is the Bosshead Aluminium affected by laboratory chemicals?
Strong alkalis such as sodium hydroxide attack aluminium and some acids can mark it, so rinse and dry the Bosshead Aluminium after any splash. For benches with constant corrosive work, a stainless steel bosshead from the same range is the better option.

Who manufactures the Bosshead Aluminium?
The Bosshead Aluminium is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), made at the company’s own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers receive it factory-direct, with quotations issued by the manufacturer.

How do I keep the screws of the Bosshead Aluminium working smoothly?
Avoid over-tightening the Bosshead Aluminium, wipe its thread clean from time to time and store the bossheads dry in a tray rather than loose in a drawer, where screws can be knocked, bent or lost.

Can ScienceLab supply the Bosshead Aluminium for a whole class or for export?
Yes. Send code SLE/BH/03 with the screw type, quantity and delivery location; ScienceLab supplies the Bosshead Aluminium to schools and institutions in India and international markets and can quote it together with stands and clamps.
