Air cushion glider Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-PLE-10402

The air cushion glider is a physics laboratory accessory used for studying near-frictionless linear motion on a compatible air track. It is designed for schools, colleges and STEM labs where students investigate velocity, acceleration, momentum, collisions, Newton’s laws and conservation of energy through practical motion experiments.

Product Description

The Air Cushion Glider from Lab Glassware Manufacturer is used with an air track or air-cushion roadway. When air flows through the track, the glider is lifted slightly above the surface, reducing contact friction and allowing smoother motion observations.

This apparatus supports accurate classroom demonstrations of kinematics and dynamics. Exact glider mass, material, dimensions, compatible track model, load capacity, flag fittings and collision accessories must be confirmed before final catalogue publication or tender submission.

Key Features

• Designed for near-frictionless motion experiments on compatible air tracks.
• Useful for studying velocity, acceleration, momentum and collisions.
• Supports Newton’s laws and conservation of energy demonstrations.
• Suitable for school physics labs, college labs and STEM practical rooms.
• Can be used with timing gates, flags and collision accessories when compatible.
• Simple demonstration format for teacher-led mechanics experiments.
• Mass, material and load capacity must be confirmed from the final model.

Technical Specifications

Standards / CertificationsNo certification confirmed. Add only if verified by datasheet or compliance document.

What's Included in the Kit

• Air cushion glider main body
• Collision bumpers or elastic attachments
• Timing flag or interrupt card
• Mass holder or additional weights
• Instruction sheet or experiment guide

Applications / Uses

• Studying uniform and accelerated motion on an air track.
• Demonstrating elastic and inelastic collision principles.
• Investigating conservation of momentum and kinetic energy.
• Supporting Newton’s second law experiments with controlled force.
• Building motion practicals with related physics lab equipment.

How to Use the Air Cushion Glider

1. Place the compatible air track on a stable laboratory bench.
2. Check that the track, glider and air supply are clean and undamaged.
3. Turn on the air supply and confirm that the glider floats smoothly.
4. Attach a timing flag if using a fork light barrier.
5. Fit end stops for roadways or safe buffers before collision tests.
6. Add extra mass only if the glider is rated for it, such as compatible Smart Cart Additional Mass 2x 250 g.
7. Release the glider gently and record time, distance, velocity or acceleration.
8. Repeat trials and compare results with theoretical calculations.

Safety note: Keep hands clear of moving gliders, do not block air holes, and do not perform high-speed collisions unless the glider, track and end stops are rated for the setup.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the glider surface clean so it floats evenly on the air cushion.
• Store the glider in protective packing to prevent scratches or deformation.
• Check bumpers, flags and fittings before each practical session.
• Do not overload the glider or attach incompatible accessories by force.
