Ticker Tape Carbon Disc Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Ticker Tape Carbon Disc (Product Code: SLE/PHY/311) is a replacement carbon disc used in ticker tape timers to transfer a dot onto the paper tape each time the striker hits, in school motion practicals. Each disc measures 50 mm in diameter with a 4 mm hole, and the discs come in boxes of 100 for classes that run regular force and motion experiments. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Ticker Tape Carbon Disc Used For?

In a ticker tape timer, the striker taps down at a steady rate, and the carbon disc between the striker and the paper tape turns each tap into a small dark dot. As a trolley or falling mass pulls the tape through, the pattern of dots becomes a record of its motion, so a clean, fresh disc is what keeps the dots sharp enough to measure.

When dots start to look faint or patchy, turn the disc slightly so the striker meets an unused area, and replace it once the whole face is worn. Store spare discs flat and dry in their box, and keep a box beside each set of timers so practicals are not held up by a worn disc.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of boxes of 100 discs you need for the term or year.
• That your timers take a 50 mm disc with a 4 mm hole.
• Whether you also want ticker tape timers quoted at the same time.

When should a Ticker Tape Carbon Disc be replaced?
Replace a Ticker Tape Carbon Disc when the dots on the tape become faint or uneven even after turning the disc to a fresh area. Clear dots matter because students measure the spacing between them to work out speed and acceleration.
