Precision Gyroscope Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-TWL-9175
Jlab Export is a leading Precision Gyroscope Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
This gyroscope carries a 250 mm, 1500 g disc on dual ball bearings at one end of a tilting shaft, with a movable counterweight at the other. Once started, the disc keeps spinning for a long time, so precession and nutation can be watched and measured. A 50 g weight slid along the shaft supplies the external torque.

Gyroscope Experiments in the Physics Lab
Students first balance the shaft with the counterweight and set it level with the spirit level. They spin the disc with the cord, then place the 50 g weight at a distance r from the pivot. Its torque τ = m g r makes the shaft precess about the stand rod. The precession rate is Ω = τ / (I ω), so a faster spin gives a slower precession.
A Digital Stopwatch times one full turn of precession, and the spin rate comes from timing a set number of disc turns. The distance r is read along the shaft with a Meter Scale 50 cm. Repeating at several positions gives a straight line of Ω against r, and from its slope and the spin rate students find I for the disc. They can compare it with ½ M R² from the disc’s mass and diameter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can be measured with this gyroscope?
Its experiment topics are the moment of inertia of the disc, torque, angular momentum, precession and nutation. Precession times, spin rates and shaft angles on the -40° to +40° scale give the data for each one.
Why does a faster spin give a slower precession?
The precession rate is the torque divided by the spin angular momentum, Ω = τ / (I ω). Doubling the spin speed doubles I ω, so the same weight turns the shaft half as fast. The dual ball bearings keep the disc turning long enough to see this.
What is nutation and how is it seen?
Nutation is a fast nodding of the shaft laid over the slow precession. A light tap on the spinning shaft starts it. Its rate rises with the spin speed, so students can see the two motions as clearly separate.
How does it differ from the Motorized Gyroscope?
This model is spun by hand or cord and studied with weights, a scale and a spirit level. The Motorized Gyroscope keeps its rotor turning with a motor, on a frame free to rotate about three perpendicular axes, for gyroscopic couple work.
How is the shaft balanced before a run?
Slide the 1400 g counterweight along the shaft until it balances the 1500 g disc and the shaft rests level on the spirit level. Make the last small correction with the thumb screw at the end of the shaft.
