Magnetic Needle on Stand Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-M-11100
The Lab Exports Magnetic Needle on Stand is engineered specifically for classroom demonstrations and introductory laboratory experiments. It features a highly sensitive, permanently magnetized steel needle balanced perfectly on a low-friction brass pivot. The needle responds instantly to nearby magnetic fields, making it an indispensable tool for fundamental magnetism lessons.
Built with high-grade, non-magnetic materials for the support structure, this apparatus ensures that external structural components do not interfere with magnetic readings. This durable construction resists the daily wear and tear of active school laboratory environments, providing educators with a reliable, long-lasting teaching aid.
Key Features
Highly Sensitive Alignment: The balanced carbon steel needle ensures rapid, accurate alignment along magnetic field lines.
Non-Magnetic Support Structure: The pillar and base components are manufactured from premium non-magnetic materials to prevent measurement distortion.
Clear Directional Markers: Features distinctly painted tips for immediate, clear visual identification of magnetic polarity.
Low-Friction Bearing: A precision-engineered brass pivot point minimizes rotational resistance for optimal sensitivity.
Exceptional Durability: Engineered by a trusted global exporter to withstand frequent student handling in busy physics labs.

Applications / Uses
Mapping the invisible magnetic field paths surrounding bar magnets and horseshoe magnets.
Demonstrating core physical principles of magnetic attraction and repulsion in student labs.
Identifying geographic and magnetic north during classroom geography or navigation exercises.
Conducting foundational experiments required within various standard middle and high school science kits.
How to Use the Magnetic Needle on Stand
Place the non-magnetic base on a flat, level workspace far away from hidden iron structural beams or electronic equipment.
Carefully place the center bearing of the magnetic needle directly onto the sharp brass pivot tip, ensuring it balances freely.
Allow the needle to settle completely until it aligns naturally with the Earth's geomagnetic field lines.
Slowly bring an external permanent magnet or current-carrying wire close to the setup to observe field deflection.
Handling Safety Note: Avoid dropping the needle or placing exceptionally strong neodymium magnets directly against it, as mechanical shocks and sudden overwhelming magnetic fields can demagnetize the steel.
Care & Maintenance
Storage Conditions: Keep the magnetic needle stored inside a protective case away from strong permanent magnets, transformers, and electronic devices to prevent accidental demagnetization.
Cleaning Protocols: Wipe the stand and base with a clean, dry, lint-free microfiber cloth; do not use water or harsh chemical solvents on the steel components to prevent rust.
Pivot Protection: Handle the assembly gently to avoid bending or dulling the sharp vertical pivot point, which is critical for preserving low-friction rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Magnetic Needle on Stand used for?
It is used in educational physics labs to demonstrate magnetic polarity, map lines of magnetic force around permanent magnets, and identify the Earth's natural magnetic orientation.
Is the support stand made of magnetic material?
No, the stand and base are constructed entirely from non-magnetic brass and high-grade polymer to ensure they do not interfere with the movement or accuracy of the magnetic needle.
How can students identify which end of the needle points North?
The needle features a distinct color indicator, typically a painted red tip, to clearly represent the North-seeking pole for straightforward classroom tracking.
Can this apparatus be integrated into comprehensive school science kits?
Yes, its compact, durable profile makes it ideal for inclusion in standardized physics experimental kits, magnetism setups, and general science laboratory modules.
What should I do if the needle does not rotate smoothly?
Ensure the brass pivot point is clear of dust particles and check that the center bearing of the needle has not been bent or obstructed during handling.
