Funicular Polygon and Forces Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-ELA-5515
Jlab Export is a leading Funicular Polygon and Forces Apparatus Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Funicular Polygon and Forces Apparatus (code EL-ELA-5515) is a bench-mounted pulley table for verifying the triangle of forces, polygon of forces and link (funicular) polygon. Up to five loads hang on cords from pulleys set at chosen angles around a point, a disc or a rectangular lamina, covering concurrent and non-concurrent coplanar forces. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with Other JLab Forces Apparatus?
| Model | Forces covered | Listed set-up |
|---|---|---|
| This apparatus (EL-ELA-5515) | Concurrent and non-concurrent coplanar forces; triangle, polygon and link polygon | Bench-mounted pulley table; up to five loads on a point, disc or rectangular lamina |
| Force Table | Forces at a point; triangle, parallelogram and polygon laws | Machined aluminium table with a degree scale, four pulleys and a central ring |
| Parallelogram Law of Forces Apparatus | Relation between forces acting at a point | Wooden board with two aluminium pulleys, can be mounted on a wall |
Choose this apparatus when the syllabus includes non-concurrent forces and the link polygon, which a force table does not cover; the force table and parallelogram board suit introductory work on forces acting at a single point.
What Is the Funicular Polygon and Forces Apparatus Used For?
A body is in equilibrium under coplanar forces when the forces add to zero and, if they do not all pass through one point, their moments also balance. For three concurrent forces the force vectors form a closed triangle; for more than three they form a closed polygon. For non-concurrent forces the graphical check is the link, or funicular, polygon, a construction from graphic statics that locates lines of action and confirms the moment condition. On this apparatus students set the pulleys, hang the loads, draw the lines of action along the cords on paper, then construct the triangle, polygon or link polygon and compare the experimental values with the graphical results.
It is used in engineering mechanics and applied mechanics labs in first-year degree and diploma courses, and for equilibrium-of-forces work in college physics.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; many labs plan one apparatus per group of students.
- Other statics experiments — force tables and the parallelogram law apparatus are separate items that can be added to the same enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which laws can be verified with this apparatus?
The triangle of forces for three concurrent coplanar forces, the polygon of forces for more than three concurrent forces, and the link polygon for three or more non-concurrent coplanar forces.
How many loads can be applied?
Up to five, by setting the pulleys at various angular positions around the chosen shape.
What shapes can the forces act on?
A single point, various points round a circular disc, or a rectangular lamina.
How are the lines of action recorded?
By drawing along the weighted cords onto a sheet of paper attached to the pulley table, which is then used for the graphical construction.
Is an instruction manual provided?
Yes. A complete manual describes the apparatus, its application, the experimental procedure and typical test results.
What information is needed for an export quotation?
Send the quantity, the destination country and port or city, your preferred delivery terms (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling needs, and the tender reference if the order is for a tender.
Who manufactures this apparatus?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an engineering and science lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. This forces apparatus is made at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so engineering colleges, polytechnics, dealers and importers order it factory-direct, each unit is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled by the maker. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Afghanistan in South Asia, Burkina Faso in West Africa, Mongolia in East Asia, Turkmenistan in Central Asia and Lithuania in Northern Europe. Tender details are on the JLab lab tenders page.
Other Statics Apparatus
- Force Table — an aluminium table with four pulleys for the triangle, parallelogram and polygon laws.
- Force Table Deluxe JLab — a degree-graduated aluminium top on a metal pillar and levelling tripod.
- Parallelogram Law of Forces Apparatus — a wall-mountable board with two aluminium pulleys.
