Product Description
The Mechanical Balance is a precision laboratory instrument designed to measure the mass of objects through mechanical means. It operates using a system of levers, beams, and calibrated weights to determine mass with high accuracy without requiring electrical power. Mechanical balances typically feature a robust metal frame, a beam with a central pivot, and sliding weights or poises for balancing. The instrument provides reliable and repeatable mass measurements essential for quantitative analysis in chemistry, biology, physics, and industrial quality control. Known for its durability and ease of maintenance, the mechanical balance is widely used in educational settings, research laboratories, and production environments where precise weighing is necessary. Its mechanical operation ensures functionality even in environments where electronic devices may be unsuitable due to power constraints or interference.
