Equilibrium Of A Beam (Product Code: SLE/ESA/03) is a magnetic work panel kit used to study forces, moments and reaction forces on a rigid beam at equilibrium in engineering science and applied mechanics classes. Masses, magnetic mounts and spring balances apply and measure the forces, and the beam can be supported in several ways, including simply supported or balanced. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Before students can analyse bending in a beam, they need its support reactions, and those follow from two rules: the forces must balance, and the moments about any point must balance. With this kit on the Work Panel, they set the beam up as simply supported, hang masses at chosen positions and read the reaction forces from the spring balances. The measured values are then set against the reactions calculated by taking moments.
Rearranging the magnetic mounts turns the same beam into a balanced beam, where loads on each side must produce equal and opposite moments, a direct link to the principle of levers. Because each set-up takes only minutes on the panel, groups can test several load cases in one practical and see how closely experiment matches theory. It is straightforward engineering lab equipment for colleges, polytechnics and technical schools in India, and a natural first step before bending moment experiments.
This beam kit is manufactured by ScienceLab as the OEM. Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab trading name, makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and ships it factory-direct to engineering institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

What does the Equilibrium Of A Beam kit demonstrate?
The Equilibrium Of A Beam kit demonstrates forces, moments and reaction forces around a rigid beam at equilibrium. Students compare the forces they measure with theoretical values found from the theory of moments and the conditions of equilibrium.
How are forces applied on the Equilibrium Of A Beam kit?
The Equilibrium Of A Beam kit uses masses, magnetic mounts and spring balances to apply forces to the rigid beam. All parts fit magnetically to the Work Panel, so load positions can be changed quickly between readings.
Which support arrangements does the Equilibrium Of A Beam kit allow?
The Equilibrium Of A Beam kit allows several ways of supporting the beam, including simply supported and balanced arrangements, so one kit covers both support-reaction problems and lever-type moment balance experiments.
What else is needed to use the Equilibrium Of A Beam kit?
