Clutch Structure Trainer Mechanical Manual (Product Code: SLE/ATE/06) is a hand-operated, sectioned education unit used to teach the operating principle of a mechanical clutch in motor vehicle and automobile engineering training. Learners work the pedal themselves and watch the real movement through colour-painted cut sections, making it hands-on technical educational equipment for vocational workshops. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Mechanical Clutch Trainer Used For?

In a mechanical clutch, pedal travel reaches the release mechanism through mechanical linkage rather than fluid pressure. Because this trainer is worked directly by hand, each student can press the pedal slowly, stop at any point and see how far the pressing board moves away before the drive is fully disengaged. That tactile, stop-and-look approach helps learners understand free play, engagement point and full release — ideas they later need when adjusting a clutch on a real vehicle.

Many workshops set it beside a hydraulic clutch trainer so the class can compare both actuation methods in one session. For a vocational training lab, its small footprint means it can be stored on a shelf and brought out only when the clutch module is taught.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, better known by its trade name ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Clutch Structure Trainer Mechanical Manual. The trainer is made and assembled at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so colleges, training institutes, dealers and importers buy it directly from the people who build it.

Clutch Structure Trainer Hydraulic Manual (Product Code: SLE/ATE/07) is a hand-operated education unit used to show the hydraulic clutch of a manual-transmission vehicle, laid out from pedal to flywheel, as TVET lab equipment for automobile and ITI workshops. Its fly wheel, clutch pressure board, clutch pedal, master cylinder and operating cylinder are cut open in contrasting colours, so students follow the release sequence as they move the pedal. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Hydraulic Clutch Trainer with Flywheel Used For?

The lesson normally begins at the pedal: pressing it moves the piston in the clutch master cylinder, the resulting fluid pressure travels to the operating cylinder, and that cylinder acts on the release side of the clutch pressure board so it stops clamping against the fly wheel. With the flywheel included, learners can see exactly which surfaces are pressed together when the clutch is engaged and how they separate on release — the root of topics such as clutch slip and wear.

Instructors often ask students to trace the sequence with the pedal held at different positions, then relate what they saw to bleeding and adjusting a hydraulic clutch on a vehicle. The 600 × 400 × 400 mm unit sits comfortably on a workshop bench for small-group teaching.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Clutch Structure Trainer Hydraulic Manual and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.

Cupping Experiment (Product Code: SLE/ETP/08) is a sheet-metal forming accessory used to judge the ductility of thin metal specimens by pressing a lubricated steel sphere into them until they rupture, in strength-of-materials laboratories. Engineering students load it through a universal testing machine and watch the cup form and split in an angled mirror below the die plate. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of engineering lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Key Details

What Is the Cupping Experiment Used For?

A cupping test tells students how well a sheet metal will cope with stretch-forming work such as pressing and drawing. The sheet is clamped between the clamping plate and the die plate, the hardened steel sphere is lubricated, and the testing machine pushes the sphere into the sheet. The specimen bulges into a cup and eventually splits, and the angled mirror lets the whole group see the underside at the moment of rupture.

Repeating the test on different sheet materials, or on the same material before and after heat treatment, gives a clear practical ranking of formability that complements tensile data. Lubricate the sphere the same way for every specimen so friction does not vary, tighten the clamping plate evenly, and record the machine reading at the instant the crack appears in the mirror.

OEM Manufacturer

The Cupping Experiment is an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab. It is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought from a trader and resold. Engineering colleges, polytechnics, dealers and importers therefore deal with the maker itself for technical questions and repeat orders. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Related Materials Testing and Properties Equipment

Apparatus that fits alongside a cupping test in a materials laboratory:

• Tensile strength testing machine — adds strength and elongation figures for the same sheet material.
• Compression Cage — another testing-machine ancillary, for experiments that need a compressive load.
• Brinell Indenter — a ball-indentation accessory that measures hardness instead of formability.
• Muffle Furnace — anneals sheet specimens so students can compare cupping before and after heat treatment.

Browse the full Materials Testing and Properties range for more strength-of-materials apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Cupping Experiment show students?
The Cupping Experiment shows how much stretch-forming a thin metal sheet can take before it splits. A lubricated hardened steel sphere is pressed into the clamped specimen until a cup forms and ruptures, giving a visual comparison of ductility between materials.

Which machine loads the Cupping Experiment?
The Cupping Experiment is loaded by a universal testing machine, which presses the penetrator sphere into the specimen. Tell us which testing machine your laboratory already has, so the fit can be discussed before a quotation is prepared.

How do students see the specimen rupture?
The Cupping Experiment has an angled mirror placed below the die plate. As pressure rises and the cup deepens, students watch the underside of the specimen in the mirror and see the moment it ruptures without leaning under the loaded machine.

Why is the penetrator sphere lubricated?
Lubricating the penetrator sphere of the Cupping Experiment reduces friction between the steel ball and the sheet, so the metal stretches over the sphere instead of tearing early at the contact point. Applying the lubricant the same way each time keeps results comparable.

Who manufactures the Cupping Experiment?
The Cupping Experiment is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Replacement parts and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer directly, so ask us about spares when you enquire.

What should a quotation request for the Cupping Experiment include?

Universal Hardness Tester (Product Code: SLE/ETP/09) is a bench-top hardness testing instrument used to measure Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell hardness of materials in engineering, metallurgy and industrial training laboratories. One instrument covers all three methods, and its backlit LCD shows measured results, test progress and the settings needed for each set-up. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as one of the test and measurement instruments in India it sources for colleges and training centres.

Key Details

What Is the Universal Hardness Tester Used For?

Hardness is a quick, almost non-destructive guide to a material's strength, heat-treatment condition and wear resistance. The Universal Hardness Tester lets one laboratory run the three most widely taught methods: Brinell, where a ball leaves a broad dent that suits softer or coarse-grained metals; Vickers, where a pyramid-shaped indentation is measured across its diagonals; and Rockwell, where hardness is read from the depth of penetration.

Students can test the same specimen by each method and discuss why the numbers differ, or follow how quenching and tempering change hardness. For reliable readings, use a flat, clean and well-supported specimen, keep indentations away from edges and from one another, and check the set-up information on the LCD before each series of tests.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Which of the Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell methods you will use most, so the indenters and test loads in the quotation can be confirmed with you.
• The materials and typical specimen sizes your students will test.
• Whether you also need specimen preparation equipment for cutting and polishing.
• The number of testers and the delivery destination.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, supplies the Universal Hardness Tester to engineering colleges, polytechnics, industrial training institutes, dealers and importers. We source the instrument for your application and confirm its configuration with you before quoting. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Materials Testing and Properties Equipment

Dedicated testers and specimen preparation items that sit alongside a universal hardness tester:

• Vickers Hardness Tester — a dedicated machine for labs that run mainly Vickers tests.

• Cut Off Wheel Machine — sections specimens to a size that sits firmly on the test anvil.
• Single Disc Polishing Machine — gives the smooth, flat surface needed to read small indentations.

See the complete Materials Testing and Properties category for other hardness and strength apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which hardness methods does the Universal Hardness Tester cover?
The Universal Hardness Tester measures Vickers, Brinell and Rockwell hardness on one bench-top instrument. This lets a laboratory teach and compare all three methods without buying a separate machine for each, which also saves bench space.

What does the display of the Universal Hardness Tester show?
The Universal Hardness Tester has a backlit LCD that shows the measured hardness result, monitors the progress of each test and displays the information needed when the machine is set up for different test parameters.

How should specimens be prepared for hardness testing?
Specimens for the Universal Hardness Tester should be flat, clean and firmly supported, with a smooth surface where small indentations must be read. Keep each test point clear of edges and of earlier indentations so the surrounding metal is not already deformed.

Is a calibration certificate available with the Universal Hardness Tester?

Thick Cylinder (Product Code: SLE/ETP/10) is a self-contained, bench-mounting stress analysis apparatus used to investigate how radial and hoop stresses and strains vary through the wall of a pressurised thick-walled cylinder, in strength-of-materials laboratories. A core item of lab equipment for technical institutes, it carries ten strain gauges inside the wall so students can compare measured strains with theory. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Thick Cylinder Apparatus Used For?

Hydraulic rams, high-pressure pipes and gun barrels have walls too thick for simple thin-wall formulas, because stress changes from the bore to the outside surface. Lamé's theory predicts that hoop stress is greatest at the bore and that radial stress falls from the internal pressure at the bore to zero at the outer surface. The Thick Cylinder lets students test that prediction directly.

Students raise the oil pressure in steps with the hand-pump, read the ten embedded gauges and the inner and outer wall gauges, and convert the strains to stresses. Plotting them against radius and overlaying the theoretical curves is a classic exercise in engineering lab equipment courses. Zero every gauge before pumping, let readings settle at each pressure step, and release pressure fully at the end of the session.

What to Specify When Ordering

• How you plan to read the embedded and wall-surface strain gauges, so a suitable multi-channel strain readout can be discussed.
• The number of Thick Cylinder sets required for your laboratory groups.
• Whether you also want the Thin Cylinder for comparing thin-wall and thick-wall behaviour.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Thick Cylinder apparatus. The unit is built and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and supplied factory-direct to universities, engineering colleges, dealers and importers. Because the maker quotes directly, questions on set-up and later spares come straight to the people who build it. See the company profile for background.

Related Materials Testing and Properties Equipment

Apparatus often used in the same pressure-vessel and strain-measurement practicals:

• Thin Cylinder — the thin-walled counterpart, for comparing hoop and longitudinal stresses with thin-wall theory.
• Digital Strain Display — a sixteen-channel readout that gives direct strain readings from metal-foil gauges.
• Diaphragm — studies strain and deflection of a clamped diaphragm under oil pressure.
• Strain Gauge Trainer — introduces bridge circuits before students move on to pressure-vessel work.

More stress-analysis apparatus is in the Materials Testing and Properties category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can students measure with the Thick Cylinder?
With the Thick Cylinder, students measure radial and hoop strains through the wall using ten embedded gauges, plus longitudinal and circumferential strains on the inner and outer walls, then compare the resulting stresses with thick-cylinder theory.

How are strain gauges placed inside the cylinder wall?
The Thick Cylinder is made in two halves cemented together. One face of the joint has an eccentric shallow groove holding ten strain gauges at precise radii and orientation, and jointing cement fills the groove around them.

How is the Thick Cylinder pressurised?
The Thick Cylinder contains oil. To stress the cylinder, students pressurise that oil with a hydraulic hand-pump, which lets them raise the pressure in controlled steps and take strain readings at each level.

What is the Thick Cylinder made of?
The Thick Cylinder uses a thick-walled aluminium cylinder held in a robust frame. The whole apparatus is self-contained and bench-mounting, so it can be set up on a standard laboratory bench for group practicals.

Who manufactures the Thick Cylinder?
The Thick Cylinder is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, repeat orders and spare-part requests go directly to the manufacturer.

Digital Strain Display (Product Code: SLE/ETP/11) is a sixteen-channel strain indicator used to give direct readings of strain from metal-foil strain gauges in stress-analysis and materials testing laboratories. It accepts up to 16 channels wired in quarter, half or full bridge and is fully programmable to match each gauge and bridge connection. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among the test and measurement instruments in India that it provides for engineering colleges.

Specifications

What Is the Digital Strain Display Used For?

A bonded strain gauge changes resistance by a tiny amount as the surface beneath it stretches, and a Wheatstone bridge turns that change into a small voltage. The Digital Strain Display reads the bridge outputs and shows the result directly as strain, so students spend lab time on analysis rather than on conversions. With sixteen inputs it can log a whole set of gauges on a beam, cylinder or plate at once.

Typical uses include pressure-vessel and diaphragm experiments, beam bending tests and student projects on custom-gauged parts. The two channels with dynamic outputs can pass a changing strain signal on to another instrument. Enter the details of each gauge and its bridge type before testing, zero the readings with the structure unloaded, and label cables so each channel matches its gauge position.

What to Specify When Ordering

• How many of the 16 channels you expect to use, and on which apparatus.
• The bridge arrangement for your gauges: quarter, half or full bridge.
• Whether you need the dynamic outputs on two channels for another instrument.
• Quantity required and delivery destination.

Strain Gauge Trainer (Product Code: SLE/ETP/12) is a compact bench or desktop trainer used to show how resistance strain gauges work on three different structures in engineering and technical education labs. Bending, torsion and tension systems are loaded with a small and a large set of masses, and students compare measured strains with values calculated from theory. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), a technical educational equipment manufacturer and OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is the Strain Gauge Trainer Used For?

Strain gauges sit inside load cells, torque sensors and structural monitoring systems, so every mechanical or instrumentation engineer needs to know how they behave. On this trainer, students hang masses on each structure, use the known dimensions to calculate stress and strain by hand, and then check their answers against the gauge readings. The bending beam shows tension on one face and compression on the other, while the torsion system shows how gauges set at an angle to a shaft pick up shear strain.

The most valuable exercise is rewiring the same structure as a quarter, half and full bridge and comparing the outputs, which shows why multi-gauge bridges give larger signals and better temperature compensation. Load and unload in equal steps to check that readings return to zero, and use the small masses for bending and torsion and the large ones only for tension.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the name under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades, and it is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Strain Gauge Trainer. The trainer is assembled at the company's own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and goes factory-direct to polytechnics, engineering colleges, TVET centres, dealers and importers. Ask us about replacement masses or other parts; the manufacturer handles those requests itself. Read the ScienceLab profile for more.

• Stiffness - Bending and Torsion — measures beam deflection to complement strain readings in bending.
• Mini Strain Gauge — a single gauge on a flexible strip for a quick classroom demonstration.

The Materials Testing and Properties category lists further stress and strain apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which structures are included in the Strain Gauge Trainer?
The Strain Gauge Trainer includes three structures: a bending system with gauges for direct tensile and compression strain, a torsion system with shear/torque gauges, and a tension system. Each can be loaded and measured separately.

How are the structures loaded?
The Strain Gauge Trainer comes with two sets of masses. Students use the small set to load the bending and torsion systems and the large set to load the tension system, then compare measured strains with calculated values.

Can students compare different bridge circuits on the Strain Gauge Trainer?
Yes. On the Strain Gauge Trainer, students can connect quarter, half and full-bridge strain gauge circuits on each of the three structures and compare their performance, which is central to understanding practical strain measurement.

Diaphragm (Product Code: SLE/ETP/13) is a self-contained, bench-mounting apparatus used to investigate how pressure changes the surface profile of a clamped diaphragm and how circumferential and radial strains are distributed across it, in engineering stress-analysis laboratories. Eight strain gauges at different radii and a traversing digital dial gauge let students map strain and deflection on the same plate. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM engineering lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Diaphragm Apparatus Used For?

Flat circular plates under pressure appear in pressure transducers, pump and valve diaphragms, tank ends and inspection covers. Plate theory for a diaphragm with a clamped, built-in edge predicts a dished deflection profile and a radial strain that changes sign between the centre and the edge, while circumferential strain behaves differently. This apparatus lets students see both effects on a real plate.

With pressure acting through the oil beneath the diaphragm, students traverse the digital dial gauge across the surface, noting deflection against position, and read the eight gauges on the digital display. Plotting deflection and each strain component against radius, then overlaying the theoretical curves, makes a strong final-year or diploma practical. Zero the dial gauge and strain readings before applying pressure, and traverse in the same direction each time to avoid backlash.

OEM Manufacturer

This Diaphragm apparatus comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which acts as its OEM (original equipment manufacturer). It is manufactured at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, so universities, technical institutes, dealers and importers buy it from the maker rather than from a reseller. Repeat orders and replacement-part queries are handled by the same team; ask us when you need them. Company background is on the profile page.

Explore the Materials Testing and Properties category for the complete stress-analysis range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Diaphragm apparatus measure?
The Diaphragm apparatus measures how pressure changes the surface profile of a clamped diaphragm and how circumferential and radial strains are distributed across it, using eight strain gauges and a traversing digital dial gauge.

Where are the strain gauges on the Diaphragm?
The Diaphragm has eight strain gauges cemented to its upper surface in various positions and at different radii. Each gauge circuit is a full bridge with high-stability resistors, and the signals are shown on a digital display.

How is the surface profile of the Diaphragm measured?
On the Diaphragm apparatus, a digital dial gauge is fitted to a digital position indicator. Students traverse the dial gauge across the diaphragm and record deflection against position to build up the surface profile under pressure.

What edge condition does the Diaphragm have?
The edge of the Diaphragm is clamped between two heavy flanges, which gives built-in edge conditions. This matches the clamped-edge case in plate theory, so students can compare their results with standard textbook equations.

Who manufactures the Diaphragm apparatus?
The Diaphragm apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied directly to institutions and dealers.
