Laboratory Slotted Weight Hanger Kit

Product Code : SCL-AM-11234

The Laboratory Slotted Weight Hanger Kit is a 1000 g brass mass set used to apply known loads in mechanics, force and elasticity experiments. Designed for schools, colleges, universities and technical laboratories, the kit includes a 100 g hanger and nine removable 100 g slotted masses for controlled loading.

Product Description

The kit provides a simple method of increasing or decreasing an experimental load in equal 100 g steps. Each slotted mass can be placed around the central stem of the hanger without disconnecting the hanger from a spring, string, pulley or experimental apparatus.

The masses and hanger are manufactured from brass. The compact set is suitable for use with applied mechanics laboratory equipment in experiments involving force, equilibrium, acceleration, friction and elastic extension. Mass tolerance, surface finish and dimensional details should be confirmed before precision or tender-based procurement.

Key Features

• 1000 g total mass: Provides a complete nominal load of 1000 g when the hanger and all nine masses are used together.
• Equal loading increments: Nine 100 g masses allow the applied load to be changed in controlled steps.
• 100 g hanger: The hanger forms part of the total applied mass and supports the removable weights.
• Brass construction: The hanger and slotted masses are specified as brass components.
• Convenient slotted design: Individual masses can be added or removed without detaching the experimental connection.
• Reusable laboratory format: Suitable for repeated mechanics demonstrations and supervised student practicals.
• Broad apparatus compatibility: Can be used with springs, pulleys, strings, force tables and suitable motion apparatus.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included in the Kit

How to Use the Laboratory Slotted Weight Hanger Kit

1. Check that the hanger, masses and supporting apparatus are undamaged.
2. Attach the empty 100 g hanger securely to the spring, string or pulley system.
3. Record the hanger mass as part of the initial applied load.
4. Add the required number of 100 g slotted masses one at a time.
5. Allow the apparatus to stabilise before taking a reading.
6. Record the total mass as the hanger mass plus all added masses.
7. Remove the weights individually after completing the experiment.

Safety note: Do not exceed the load capacity of the spring, string, stand, pulley or supporting apparatus. Keep hands and feet clear of suspended masses.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the brass components dry and wipe them with a soft cloth after use.
• Avoid dropping the masses, as impact may alter their shape or nominal value.
• Store the complete set together to prevent missing or mixed masses.
• Verify the masses with a suitable balance when accurate quantitative work is required.
