Needle tripod

Product Code : SCL-PLE-10656

The Needle Tripod is a physics laboratory support apparatus used for holding a pointed needle or indicator during balance, alignment, centre-of-gravity, and classroom demonstration experiments.

Quick Answer: A Needle Tripod is a small three-legged stand that holds a fine pointed needle steady, providing a low-friction pivot point for balance experiments, centre-of-gravity demonstrations, and simple pointer/indicator setups in physics practicals.

Needle Tripods in Centre-of-Gravity and Balance Demonstrations

A needle tripod is often the quiet workhorse behind a balance demonstration, providing the low-friction pivot that lets a beam, card, or pointer rotate freely. It is commonly used alongside Moment of Inertia of Cylinders apparatus and other rotational-mechanics equipment in a combined statics and dynamics teaching unit. Confirm needle length and base stability with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Needle Tripod used for?
It provides a stable, low-friction pivot point for a needle or pointer, commonly used in centre-of-gravity, balance, and simple rotational-mechanics demonstrations.

What is the tripod base made of?
Base material and finish vary by model — check the product listing before ordering.

Is the needle included with the tripod?
Confirm with Lab Glassware Manufacturer whether a needle/pointer is included or must be sourced separately, as kit contents can vary.
