Damper Kit For Mass/Spring
Damper Kit For Mass/Spring (Product Code: SLE/ETM/07) is a dash-pot damping accessory used to add viscous damping to a mass-spring vibration experiment, fitting to the guide rods under its platform, in theory of machines laboratories. Its piston disc and cylinder work with easily found non-toxic fluids, so students can move from light to heavy damping simply by changing the fluid. It is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM scientific equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

What Is the Mass-Spring Damper Kit Used For?
A mass bouncing on a spring is the textbook single-degree-of-freedom system, and adding a dash-pot turns it into the damped model used for vehicle suspensions and machine mounts. Mounted on the guide rods beneath the platform, the piston disc moves through fluid in the cylinder each time the mass oscillates, taking energy out of the motion. With a thin fluid the platform rings down gradually (underdamped); with a thick one it creeps back without overshooting (overdamped).
When the motion is recorded with a data acquisition system, the displayed data can be fitted to underdamped and overdamped viscous damping models, so students can extract a damping coefficient and compare it with theory. Try a series of non-toxic fluids of increasing thickness, fill the cylinder to the same level each time, and clean the piston disc between fluids. Students may also design their own piston discs, which makes the kit a good base for project work.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The mass-spring experiment the kit will be fitted to (it mounts on the guide rods under the platform)
- Whether data acquisition for fitting damping models is required (ask us about options)
- Number of kits for your student groups
OEM Manufacturer
The Damper Kit For Mass/Spring is manufactured by ScienceLab — the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — which is its OEM and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the related vibration apparatus comes from the same manufacturer, colleges, training institutes, dealers and importers can order the damper and the experiments it serves factory-direct from one source.
Additional piston discs or kits for extra student groups can be requested directly from the maker — ask us. See the ScienceLab profile for company background.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Damper Kit For Mass/Spring?
The Damper Kit For Mass/Spring is a dash-pot damper made from a piston disc and cylinder. It fits to the guide rods under the platform of a mass-spring vibration experiment and adds viscous damping to its motion.
How is the damping level changed?
The damping level of the Damper Kit For Mass/Spring is changed by the fluid in the cylinder. It works with easily found non-toxic fluids, so thinner fluids give light damping and thicker fluids give heavier damping.
Can the results be fitted to damping models?
Yes. When the Damper Kit For Mass/Spring is used with a data acquisition system, the displayed data can be fitted to underdamped and overdamped viscous damping models. Ask us about data acquisition options for your laboratory.
How does it differ from the Damper Kit for the beam?
The Damper Kit For Mass/Spring fits to the guide rods under a mass-spring platform, whereas the separate Damper Kit fits to the Test Frame under a beam. Both use a simple piston disc and cylinder dash-pot.
Is damping fluid included?
The Damper Kit For Mass/Spring is designed for easily found non-toxic fluids, so laboratories can usually source their own. Ask us whether any fluid is included when you request a quotation.
Who manufactures the Damper Kit For Mass/Spring?
The Damper Kit For Mass/Spring is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct in India and international markets.
What does a quotation request need?
