Damper Kit
Damper Kit (Product Code: SLE/ETM/04) is a dashpot damping accessory used to add viscous damping to beam vibration experiments on the Free Vibrations Test Frame in theory of machines laboratories. A simple piston disc moving in a cylinder fits to the Test Frame beneath the beam, and the damping level is set by the non-toxic fluid students pour in, which is not supplied. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM and TVET lab equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

What Is the Damper Kit Used For?
Real machines and structures never vibrate for ever, because friction and fluid resistance remove energy in every cycle. Fitted beneath the beam, the kit’s piston disc has to push fluid aside in the cylinder each time the beam moves, turning an almost undamped oscillation into a decaying one. By comparing successive peaks, students calculate the logarithmic decrement and damping ratio and see how both change with the fluid used.
Start with the cylinder empty to record the undamped response, then repeat with fluids of increasing viscosity that are safe and easy to obtain, keeping the fill level the same each time. Because students may also make their own piston discs, the kit supports project work on how disc size or shape alters damping. It is straightforward engineering educational equipment for vibration and dynamics courses in India.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The Free Vibrations Test Frame, if your laboratory does not already have one (the kit fits to it)
- The beam experiment it will be used with, for example the Free Vibration Of Beam Spring
- Number of kits per laboratory
- Damping fluids are not supplied, so plan to source suitable non-toxic fluids locally
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that makes this damper kit at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Colleges, polytechnics and training institutes, as well as dealers and importers, buy it factory-direct together with the test frame and the vibration experiments it serves.
Institutional and tender buyers registering the company as a vendor can use GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Replacement piston discs or extra kits can be quoted by the manufacturer on request — ask us, and see the company profile for more about ScienceLab.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Damper Kit?
The Damper Kit is a dashpot damper made from a simple piston disc and cylinder. It fits to the Free Vibrations Test Frame under the beam and adds viscous damping to free vibration experiments.
Is damping fluid included with the Damper Kit?
No. The Damper Kit works with easily found non-toxic fluids, which are not supplied, so each laboratory chooses and sources its own fluids to obtain different damping levels.
Which experiments is the Damper Kit used with?
The Damper Kit fits to the Test Frame beneath the beam, so it is used with beam-type free vibration experiments on that frame, such as the Free Vibration Of Beam Spring set-up, to compare undamped and damped motion.
Can students modify the Damper Kit for projects?
Yes. The Damper Kit is intended so students may try their own fluids and their own piston discs, which makes it suitable for project work on how fluid and disc design affect the damping produced.
Who manufactures the Damper Kit?
The Damper Kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct with or without the matching test frame.
What does a quotation request need?
For a Damper Kit quotation, state how many kits you need, whether the Free Vibrations Test Frame and beam experiments should be quoted too, and the delivery location. The manufacturer replies directly through the contact page or the enquiry cart.
