Ticker Tape Timer-A.C
The Ticker Tape Timer – A.C is a precision device designed for demonstrating motion, speed, velocity, and acceleration in physics experiments. It provides students with a clear and visual understanding of kinematics by producing accurate, evenly spaced dots on ticker tape as it vibrates at a fixed frequency using A.C. power. This simple yet effective apparatus helps learners analyze displacement and time intervals with ease.
Built with high-quality materials, the timer ensures consistent performance in classroom settings. The sturdy base and durable electromagnet deliver stable dot impressions, while the smooth-feed tape system prevents jamming for uninterrupted experimentation. Ideal for experiments in uniform motion, uniformly accelerated motion, and free-fall analysis, this device is widely used in schools, colleges, and training institutes.
Product Information:-
This timer has an electromagnet with spring loaded, striker which strikes the paper tape drawn through guides. It is supplied along with a tape roll and carbon discs. Dots are spaced at 1/50 or 1/60 second intervals depending on a mains frequency. This timer is useful for students to develop basic understanding of constant speed, acceleration and deacceleration. It operates on 12V a.c. and is therefore quite safe for work by students in the dynamics lab.
Features :-
- Accurate Motion Analysis: Provides precise time interval marking on ticker tape, ideal for experiments in speed, velocity, and acceleration.
