Gyroscope Experiment Manual
Gyroscope Experiment Manual (Product Code: SLE/MCE/78) is a hand-spun gyroscope apparatus used to demonstrate precession and the gyroscopic couple in theory of machines and physics laboratories. A 250 mm, 1500 g disc runs on dual ball bearings at one end of a tilting shaft, balanced by a movable 1400 g counterweight, and the shaft angle is read on a scale from -40° to +40°. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Gyroscope Experiment Apparatus Used For?
With the disc at rest, students first use the movable counterweight, the spirit level and the thumbscrew to balance the shaft horizontally. They then spin the disc by hand or with the cord and apply the 50 g additional weight to unbalance the shaft: instead of simply dropping, the shaft swings slowly around the vertical axis. This precession is the classic gyroscopic effect, and timing it against the disc speed lets the class compare observed precession with the value predicted from the disc's angular momentum.
Because the dual ball bearings keep the rotation nearly frictionless, the disc keeps turning for long periods, leaving time for several readings from one spin. The open construction lets a whole group watch the shaft's motion, while the inclination scale records how far the shaft tilts. The apparatus links physics lab equipment in India for angular momentum with engineering cases such as the gyroscopic couple on ships, aircraft and vehicles taking a turn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Gyroscope Experiment Manual a printed manual?
No. The Gyroscope Experiment Manual listed here is a gyroscope apparatus with a disc, counterweight and inclination scale, and its disc is set rotating by hand or with a cord. If you also need written experiment instructions, ask us through the contact page.
What are the disc details of the Gyroscope Experiment Manual?
The Gyroscope Experiment Manual has a disc of 250 mm diameter and 1500 g mass, mounted on dual ball bearings so that rotation is nearly frictionless. A 1400 g counterweight and a 50 g additional weight are also listed.
How is the Gyroscope Experiment Manual balanced before a test?
The Gyroscope Experiment Manual is balanced by moving the counterweight along the shaft, checking the horizontal position with the built-in spirit level and making the final correction with the thumbscrew at the end of the shaft.
What tilt range does the Gyroscope Experiment Manual scale show?
The inclination scale on the Gyroscope Experiment Manual reads from -40° to +40° in 1° divisions, so students can record how far the shaft tilts during precession experiments and when weights are added.
How large is the Gyroscope Experiment Manual?
The Gyroscope Experiment Manual measures 400 x 300 x 400 mm and weighs 15 kg. It stands on a laboratory bench, and its open construction lets students watch the gyroscopic motion clearly from around the table.
Who manufactures the Gyroscope Experiment Manual?
The Gyroscope Experiment Manual is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations for India and international markets come directly from the manufacturer.
