Stand (Product Code: SCL-987/01e) is a heavy laboratory support stand with a massive steel or cast-iron base and a 600 mm vertical steel rod, used to hold springs, dynamometers, pulleys, levers and other apparatus steady during experiments. It is a basic item in any school lab setup India institutions plan for physics and general science. The stand is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base | Massive steel or cast-iron base, minimum 120 x 200 x 5 mm |
| Rod | Vertical steel rod with anticorrosive coating |
| Rod length | 600 mm |
| Rod diameter | 12 mm |
| Rod fixing | Perpendicular thread on the base |
| Supplied with | Two sockets and pliers |
Screw the rod firmly into the threaded hole so it stands perpendicular to the base, then slide the sockets onto the rod at the heights you need and lock the pliers in them to grip the apparatus. A typical mechanics bench uses one stand to hang a spring or dynamometer, another to carry a pulley or a lever pivot, and sometimes a third to hold a ruler upright for reading extensions.
Teachers comparing lab stand clamp boss head India options should look at stability first: the heavy base resists tipping when a load hangs from the rod, but always position the load over the base rather than beyond its edge. For wider or heavier set-ups, clamp the base to the bench or add weight on it, and check the socket screws are tight before a class begins.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited manufactures this stand in Ambala, Haryana, and sells its laboratory apparatus under the ScienceLab brand to schools, colleges and dealers. The company profile gives more information about who we are.

What size are the base and rod?
The base is at least 120 x 200 x 5 mm in steel or cast iron, and the rod is 600 mm long with a 12 mm diameter.

Can the rod be removed for storage?
Yes, it is fixed by a thread in the base, so it can be unscrewed for compact storage or transport and screwed back in before use.
Is the stand suitable for chemistry work as well as physics?
It can hold light glassware with suitable clamps, but for heating set-ups choose clamps suited to hot glassware and keep the load centred over the base.
