Steel Ball Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Steel Ball (Product Code: SCL-316/056) is a round steel ball of 2.5 cm diameter used for rolling, falling and collision experiments in school physics laboratories. Teachers use it on inclined planes and tracks, and its silver steel surface and compact size make it easy to handle and track by eye. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for mechanics lab equipment needs in India.

Specifications

What Is the Steel Ball Used For?

A steel ball is a simple, dense mass for motion experiments. Rolled down an inclined plane it shows acceleration and the change from potential to kinetic energy; dropped from a measured height it can be timed for free fall; and two balls meeting on a track illustrate momentum transfer. Its round shape lets it roll freely along a guide.

Use a groove or channel to keep the ball on course in rolling experiments, and catch it on a rubber pad or in a tray after a fall so it does not dent benches or floors. Wipe it dry after handling to prevent rust spots, and measuring its diameter with a Vernier calliper makes a quick warm-up exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the diameter of the Steel Ball?
The Steel Ball (SCL-316/056) has a diameter of 2.5 cm. Students can confirm this with a Vernier calliper as a measurement exercise before using the ball in rolling, falling or collision experiments.

What is the Steel Ball made of?
The Steel Ball is made of steel, silver in colour and round in shape. Steel gives a dense, hard ball that resists denting in collisions and rolls freely along a guide, which suits school mechanics experiments.

Can the Steel Ball be used as a pendulum bob?
The Steel Ball has no hook listed, so it is not set up as a pendulum bob. For pendulum work the Bob/Metallic Sphere (Small) With Hooks is the direct choice; use the steel ball for rolling, falling and collision work.

How should the Steel Ball be stored?
Keep the Steel Ball dry and wipe off fingerprints after use to prevent rust spots. Store it in a tray or box where it cannot roll off shelves, because a falling steel ball can chip floors, benches or glassware.

Who supplies the Steel Ball?
The Steel Ball comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), a supplier in Ambala, Haryana, India. It can be quoted alone or with inclined planes, stop clocks and other mechanics apparatus for schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets.

How do I get a quotation for Steel Balls?
To get a quotation for the Steel Ball, send the product code SCL-316/056, the number of balls and your delivery location through the ScienceLab contact page. Class sets and dealer quantities can be quoted with related physics lab items.
