Stiffness - Bending and Torsion Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Stiffness - Bending and Torsion (Product Code: SLE/ETP/02) is a compact, bench-mounted frame used to investigate how stiff beams of different materials and cross-sections are in bending — and, with optional kits, in torsion — in engineering and materials science labs. The standard kit pairs a rigid metal frame with two adjustable knife edges, weights, a magnetic dial gauge, a set of beams and a vernier gauge. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Bending and Torsion Stiffness Apparatus Used For?

Students set the two knife edges to a chosen span using the linear scale, measure the width and depth of a beam with the vernier gauge, and rest the beam across the supports. Weights are then added step by step while the magnetic dial gauge records how far the beam deflects. Plotting load against deflection gives a straight line whose slope is the beam's bending stiffness.

Repeating the test with the other beams separates the two things that control stiffness: the material, through its elastic modulus, and the shape of the cross-section, through its second moment of area. Changing the span shows how quickly deflection grows as supports move apart. The optional kits take the same frame further, into other beam fixings and into twisting tests that measure torsional stiffness — core topics for mechanics lab equipment in India.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Whether you need the standard bending kit only, or the optional beam-fixings and torsional-stiffness kits as well
• The number of frames, based on how many student groups test at the same time
• Whether a calibration certificate for the dial gauge is needed — discuss this with us before ordering

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the standard Stiffness - Bending and Torsion kit?
The standard Stiffness - Bending and Torsion kit (SLE/ETP/02) includes a rigid metal bench frame with a linear scale, two adjustable knife edges, weights, a magnetic dial gauge, a set of beams of different materials and cross-sections, and a vernier gauge.

Can the apparatus test torsion as well as bending?
Yes, with an optional kit. The Stiffness - Bending and Torsion apparatus handles bending tests as standard, while optional additional kits allow investigations into torsional stiffness and into different beam fixings using the same frame.

How is beam deflection measured?
On the Stiffness - Bending and Torsion apparatus, beam deflection is read with the magnetic dial gauge supplied in the kit, while the linear scale on the back panel lets students place the knife-edge supports accurately.

Is a calibration certificate available for the dial gauge?
Whether a calibration certificate can be provided with the Stiffness - Bending and Torsion apparatus should be discussed with us before ordering. Please raise it through the contact page with your other requirements.

Who manufactures the Stiffness - Bending and Torsion apparatus?
The Stiffness - Bending and Torsion apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to colleges, dealers and importers.

What should a quotation request include?
For the Stiffness - Bending and Torsion apparatus, tell us the number of frames, whether the optional beam-fixing and torsion kits are required, and the delivery city or port. ScienceLab supplies institutions in India and international markets.
