Roberval Balance Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Roberval Balance (Product Code: SLE/LB/03) is a simple-model two-pan balance used to introduce mass comparison and weighing against standard masses in primary and middle school classrooms. Its body is made of steel plate and its pans are metal, so it stands up well to being passed between groups. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM school laboratory equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is the Roberval Balance Used For?

Teachers use the Roberval balance to introduce measurement of mass: pupils place an object on one pan and add standard masses to the other until the two sides are level. A popular demonstration is Roberval’s “paradox” — move the same object from the centre to the edge of its pan and the balance stays level, which leads naturally into a discussion of how the parallel linkage works. The steel plate body and metal pans suit a busy classroom where the balance is passed between groups.

For wet or dusty materials, weigh on a sheet of weighing paper so the metal pans stay clean and dry, and wipe them after use. Keep the balance on a level surface during lessons and store it away from damp. It is a straightforward addition to lab equipments for school science corners, where a first hands-on weighing experience matters more than fine precision.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Roberval Balance. Its steel plate body and metal pans are made and assembled at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than sourced from a trader. Schools, dealers and importers get quotations straight from the manufacturer; learn more on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called a Roberval Balance?
The Roberval Balance is named after the French mathematician Gilles Personne de Roberval, who devised the parallel linkage that keeps both pans horizontal as they move, so the reading does not depend on where an object sits on the pan.

What is the Roberval Balance made of?
The Roberval Balance has a body made of steel plate and metal pans. This simple construction suits classroom use, but wet or dusty materials should be weighed on paper to keep the pans clean and dry.

What load can the Roberval Balance take?
Capacity and sensitivity are not listed in the current documentation for the Roberval Balance. Please ask for the figures through our contact page before ordering, so you can confirm it suits your classroom activities.

Does the Roberval Balance come with masses?
Masses are not listed with the Roberval Balance. A separate set such as the Mass Set, Brass, 250g can be ordered with it, so pupils can balance objects against standard masses on the second pan.

Is the Roberval Balance suitable for chemistry practicals?
The Roberval Balance is a simple model intended for general mass comparison rather than fine reagent weighing. For chemistry practicals, a chemical or analytical balance from our Balances range is the better choice.

Who manufactures the Roberval Balance?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Roberval Balance (SLE/LB/03) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Bulk orders for schools in India and international markets are quoted directly by the manufacturer.
