Linear Air Track
Linear Air Track (Product Code: SLE/PHY/120) is a compact (mini) air track used to study dynamics in a virtually friction-free environment in school and college mechanics laboratories. Gliders ride on a cushion of air along a high-strength 56 x 56 mm extruded aluminium track, which makes collisions and the conservation of momentum especially clear to students. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as cost-effective mechanics lab equipment.

What Is the Linear Air Track Used For?
With the air supply running, the gliders float with almost no friction, so students can measure velocity, test force and acceleration, and follow the exchange between potential and kinetic energy without friction hiding the result. Launching one glider into another with the catapults and buffers turns momentum conservation from a formula into something they can watch and time.
The same set-up covers simple harmonic motion and motion on level and inclined planes, and the gliders take standard slotted masses when a heavier load is needed. For reliable timing, pair the track with light gates and a timer, level the track carefully before each run, and keep the air holes free of dust. It suits both teacher demonstrations and force and motion practicals run by student groups.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Track length — confirm the length on your quotation, as the listing quotes 1.2 m and 1.5 m overall.
- Air source — whether you also need the Linear Air Track Blower, since no blower is included.
- Timing — which light gates and timer you will use to measure glider speeds.
- Quantity — the number of tracks for your laboratory or student groups.
OEM Manufacturer
The Linear Air Track is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab. The company makes and assembles its air tracks at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy directly from the maker rather than through a trader. When you need replacement gliders, buffers or other accessory-pack parts later, ask us and the request is handled by the manufacturer itself. See our company profile for more about ScienceLab.

Frequently Asked Questions
What experiments can be done with the Linear Air Track?
The Linear Air Track covers velocity, force and acceleration, potential and kinetic energy, conservation of energy, SHM, and motion on level and inclined planes. It is particularly effective for collisions, where conservation of momentum is clearly demonstrated.
Is an air blower included with the Linear Air Track?
No. The Linear Air Track needs an air source to operate, and the Laboratory Air Blower is not included. You can add the Linear Air Track Blower to the same enquiry so that the track and its air supply are quoted together.
How long is the Linear Air Track?
The Linear Air Track's technical specification gives a length of 1.2 m, while its description quotes 1.5 m overall. Please confirm the exact length with us through the contact page before ordering so the quotation matches the track you expect.
What accessories come with the Linear Air Track?
The Linear Air Track is supplied with an accessory pack that includes vehicles with mass attachments, catapults and buffers. The gliders accept standard slotted masses for extra load, while the light gates and timers used to measure glider speeds are needed separately.
Who manufactures the Linear Air Track?
The Linear Air Track is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, repeat orders and spare-part requests are handled by the manufacturer directly.
Can the Linear Air Track be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes. The Linear Air Track can be quoted in multiple units for schools, colleges, dealers and importers across India and international markets. Give the quantity and delivery destination in your enquiry so that we can prepare the quotation.
