Horizontal Friction Table
Horizontal Friction Table (Product Code: SCL-329/063) is a mechanics apparatus used to demonstrate the composition of a force and to determine the coefficient of friction between different materials in school and college physics laboratories. Teachers use it as a compact friction experiment kit: a wooden base carries a hinged inclined plane and a pulley, and the plane can be set at any angle between 24 and 45 degrees. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Friction Table Used For?
In a typical practical, the metal roller or a sliding block rests on the plane, a thread runs over the pulley to the scale pan, and weights are added to the pan until motion just begins. Comparing the loads needed at different settings lets students calculate the coefficient of limiting friction and resolve the weight of a body into components along and perpendicular to the plane.
Because the plane is hinged, the same table also supports angle-of-repose work: the plane is raised until a sample starts to slide and the angle is read, for materials whose angle falls within the 24–45° range. Keep the plane and sliding faces clean and dry, and tap the table lightly before each reading so that static friction does not give erratic results. It is a practical piece of mechanics lab equipment for school and undergraduate courses.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of this friction table. The table is produced and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so schools, colleges and dealers buy directly from the maker rather than through a trader. Requests for a replacement roller or scale pan, and repeat orders, are handled by the manufacturer itself — just ask us. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

These items are often ordered with the friction table to complete friction and inclined-plane practicals:
- Wooden Block — a sliding body for measuring limiting friction on the plane.
- Hangers with Slotted Weights — adds load to the scale pan in small, known steps.
- Spring Balance, Tubular — weighs the block or roller before the experiment.
- Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan — a separate inclined-plane set for force-resolution work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is supplied with the Horizontal Friction Table?
The Horizontal Friction Table is supplied with a cylindrical metal roller and a scale pan, on a wooden base that carries the hinged inclined plane and pulley. Sliding blocks and slotted weights are not listed as included, so add them to your enquiry if you need them.
What angle range does the friction table's inclined plane cover?
The hinged plane on the Horizontal Friction Table can be set at angles between 24 and 45 degrees. This range suits angle-of-repose and force-resolution exercises; if your experiment needs angles outside it, discuss the requirement with us before ordering.
Which experiments can be performed with the Horizontal Friction Table?
The Horizontal Friction Table is used to determine the coefficient of friction between different materials and to demonstrate the composition of a force. Students load the scale pan over the pulley until the roller or a block begins to move, then calculate the coefficient from the recorded loads.
Who manufactures the Horizontal Friction Table?
The Horizontal Friction Table is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buying from ScienceLab means dealing directly with the maker for quotations, replacement parts and repeat orders.
How should the friction table be cared for?
Store the Horizontal Friction Table in a dry place, wipe the inclined plane and roller before each class, and do not oil the sliding surface, because residues change friction readings. Check that the hinge and pulley move freely so the thread runs smoothly during experiments.
Can ScienceLab supply the Horizontal Friction Table in bulk?
Yes, the Horizontal Friction Table can be quoted in quantity for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Share the number of units, delivery location and any accessories through the contact page so the manufacturer can prepare a quotation.
