Air-Cushion Table
Product Code : SCL-PL-11941
Air-Cushion Table (SKU SCL-PL-11941) is a 935 x 750 mm two-dimensional motion table on which two inkjet pucks glide and record their paths on DIN A1 paper, so students can analyse collisions, circular and accelerated motion from a printed trace. It suits senior secondary physics and first-year college mechanics labs. The complete table can be quoted by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The air-cushion table, its two recording pucks and the five accessory kits are itemised in the rows below. In short, a 935 x 750 mm table carries two 100 mm inkjet pucks, each about 365 g without battery and cartridge, running on 9 V NiMH batteries and printing on DIN A1 paper.

Applications and Experiments for the Air-Cushion Table
Because the pucks move on an air cushion with little friction and print their own tracks, each run leaves a permanent record that students can measure with a ruler. This suits laws of motion, momentum and circular motion topics in Class 11 physics and B.Sc. mechanics practicals.
- Elastic and inelastic collisions, using the foam rings and Velcro tapes for inelastic impacts.
- Uniformly accelerated motion with the return pulley, rope and three 5 cN weights, set against the rail-based Fletcher Trolley.
- Motion on an incline with the inclined-movement kit.
- Circular motion and the gravitational movement of two coupled pucks, with rotation also shown on a Whirling Table.
Standard Scope of Supply
The table comes with 50 sheets of A1 paper, two inkjet pucks, two ink cartridges, two 9 V NiMH batteries, a power supply, two humidifier bases, the remote control, the five accessory kits, two foam rings, two Velcro tapes, two additional weights and an airtight box for the cartridges.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
We can quote one table for a mechanics lab or several for a department; the quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other mechanics lab equipment in India, such as an air track or a dynamics track set, can be priced at the same time.
Registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. A department pricing the table can write through the contact page, place it in the enquiry cart with other mechanics items, or use the lab tender page for a bid.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the air-cushion table record motion?
The two inkjet pucks print their paths onto DIN A1 paper laid on the table, so positions can be measured afterwards; 50 sheets and two cartridges are included.
What powers the pucks?
Each puck uses a 9 V NiMH battery of 300 mAh. Two batteries and a power supply are part of the set, and an infrared remote control is included.
Who supplies the Air-Cushion Table?
Buyers can source the table from Science Lab Supplies, an Ambala, India, supplier that quotes it as a complete set with the A1 paper, ink cartridges, batteries and all five accessory kits.
Can collisions be made inelastic?
Yes. Two foam rings and two Velcro tapes are provided to turn a collision between the two pucks into an inelastic one, and the printed traces show the motion before and after impact.
Related Low-Friction Motion Apparatus
Air-supported systems let students study motion with friction almost removed. These Physics Lab items extend that idea to linear and rotational motion, and add circular-motion, collision and projectile apparatus, so a mechanics bench can be built on one quotation with the table.
