Slotted Mass Hanger, 500g (Product Code: SLE/LB/29) is a large format cast hanger of 500g, used to carry large slotted masses when a stiff spring, pulley cord or wire needs a half-kilogram starting load in school and college physics laboratories. Sold as the hanger only, it gives finer first steps than a 1kg hanger and suits departments topping up their existing large format masses. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A 500g hanger is the usual starting load when a spring or wire would be overstretched by a 1kg first step. Students hang it from a stiff spring on a Hooke’s law stand, from a cord passing over a bench pulley to pull a trolley or block, or from a beam to study deflection, then add large format slotted masses in turn and record each new total. It also makes a convenient counterweight in pulley-system demonstrations.
Before the first reading, let the hanger hang still so it does not swing, and read scales at eye level. Keep the supporting clamp tight, add masses one at a time, and remove them in reverse order at the end so the spring or wire relaxes gradually – good habits for any mechanics lab practical involving hanging loads.
