Precession motion Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-MH-12717
Quick Answer: The Precession Motion apparatus demonstrates precession: a spinning body on an axle, mounted on a support stand with a balancing weight, slowly turns its axis instead of falling when a torque acts on it.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Spinning body on an axle with a support stand
- Balancing weight for applying a small torque
- Shows the axis moving round slowly rather than falling
- Mass, distance and spin speed changed to compare results

About This Product
Once the body is spinning, moving the weight or the support point applies a small torque and the axis begins to move round in a circle. Students note the direction of precession and how it changes with the applied weight, its distance and the spin speed, and relate this to angular momentum in gyroscopes, spinning tops and bicycle wheels.
