Set of Dynamometers (Product Code: SCL-385/08) is a graded set of tubular spring balances used to measure forces in newtons and loads in grams in school and college physics practicals. Teachers choose it because six colour-coded balances run from 250 g / 2.5 N up to 5 kg / 50 N, so one set covers both light and heavy loads. The set is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A dynamometer lets students hang a load or pull on an object and read the force straight off the newton scale, while the gram scale beside it shows the equivalent mass. Common practicals include weighing everyday objects, measuring the drag needed to slide a block across the bench (friction), finding the pull required along an inclined plane, and weighing a body in air and then in water to find the upthrust. Comparing the two scales also shows students that each kilogram reads about 10 N on these balances.
For the most precise readings, pick the lowest range that will carry the load: the 250 g / 2.5 N balance for small objects, the 5 kg / 50 N balance for heavy ones. Hold the balance vertically with the hook empty and set the pointer to zero before every series of readings, and never load a balance past its marked maximum, because an over-stretched spring no longer reads correctly. As school physics lab equipment in India and abroad, one set normally serves a student group through the whole mechanics course.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades under the ScienceLab name, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of this dynamometer set. The balances are produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy from the maker itself rather than from a trading intermediary.
If a single range is damaged in class, replacement balances and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer directly — ask us about availability. Read more about the company on the ScienceLab company profile.

What ranges are included in the Set of Dynamometers?
The Set of Dynamometers (SCL-385/08) contains six tubular spring balances: 250 g / 2.5 N in blue, 500 g / 5 N in green, 1000 g / 10 N in grey, 2 kg / 20 N in red, 3 kg / 30 N in white and 5 kg / 50 N in yellow.
How are the dynamometers set to zero?
Each balance in the Set of Dynamometers has a zero-adjustment device at the top. Hang the balance vertically with nothing on the hook, move the adjuster until the pointer sits exactly on zero, and repeat this check before each new series of readings.
Can these spring balances show both force and mass?
Yes. Every balance in the Set of Dynamometers is dual scale, marked in grams and in newtons, so students can read the pull of a load as a force and as the matching mass on the same instrument.
Who manufactures the Set of Dynamometers?
The Set of Dynamometers is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Orders, replacement balances and quotations are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Set of Dynamometers?
The balances in the Set of Dynamometers are individually calibrated, but whether a formal calibration certificate can accompany your order should be discussed with us first. Please mention it when you send your enquiry through the contact page.
Can the Set of Dynamometers be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes. The Set of Dynamometers can be ordered in multi-set quantities by schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Share the number of sets and the delivery destination and we will prepare a quotation.
For a quotation on the Set of Dynamometers, write to us through the contact page or add the item to your enquiry cart. Quotes come straight from the manufacturer, with no middleman between you and the factory.
