Cantilever Apparatus
Product Code : LSK-AM-11096
Cantilever Apparatus (SKU LSK-AM-11096) is a chrome-plated steel bar that is clamped at one end and loaded at the other through a hook, so students can measure how the free end dips as load or length changes. It serves Young's modulus and beam-deflection practicals in B.Sc. physics, engineering physics and polytechnic labs. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the cantilever at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, where schools, colleges, contractors and distributors can buy it direct from the maker.
Specifications
The bar is chrome-plated steel measuring 100 x 18 x 0.3 cm, with a hook at one end for hanging loads. Lines are marked along its whole length at 5 cm intervals, so the loaded length can be set and read without a separate rule. In use the bar is held horizontally with its breadth horizontal.

Applications and Experiments for the Cantilever Apparatus
The cantilever is used to find Young's modulus of steel from the depression of the loaded free end, and to show how that depression depends on load and on the length of the bar beyond the clamp. It fits elasticity practicals in B.Sc. physics, engineering physics and diploma mechanics courses.
- B.Sc. physics: Young's modulus of a bar by the cantilever method.
- Showing that depression is proportional to load within the elastic limit.
- Studying how depression changes with loaded length, using the 5 cm marks.
- Diploma mechanics: an introduction to beam deflection.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Cantilever Apparatus is supplied as described above: the marked chrome-plated steel bar with its hook for loading. Any clamp, weights or device for reading the depression that your practical needs can be named in your enquiry and listed as separate items on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover anything from one bar to a full set for every workstation in an elasticity practical. Each quotation spells out packing, delivery time and price for your chosen quantity, and a mass set or other mechanics lab equipment in India can be quoted with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cantilever Apparatus used for?
It is used to measure Young's modulus of steel from the depression of a loaded cantilever, and to study how that depression varies with the load and with the length of bar projecting from the clamp.
Why is the bar marked every 5 cm?
The lines let students set the projecting length quickly and repeat readings at 5 cm steps, which makes it easy to plot depression against length without measuring the bar each time.
What size is the bar?
The chrome-plated steel bar measures 100 x 18 x 0.3 cm and carries a hook at one end for hanging the load. It is held horizontally with its breadth horizontal during the experiment.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The manufacturer. Science Lab Supplies makes the cantilever bar in its Saha, Ambala facility in India, so each quotation is prepared by the factory that produces it.
Related Beam and Elasticity Apparatus
These four Applied Mechanics items complement the cantilever. Two give other bending methods for Young's modulus, one covers rigidity by torsion, and one supplies masses for loading, so a college lab can compare elastic constants and quote everything on one document.
