The Wincom Double Beam Balance is a classic, highly durable mechanical weighing scale designed to provide accurate mass measurements without the need for electricity or batteries. Featuring a robust two-beam design with sliding riders and a traditional dual-pan layout, it operates on mechanical equilibrium principles. This balance is an exceptional choice for educational physics and chemistry demonstrations, field research stations, and rugged laboratory environments where electronic power sources are unavailable or unreliable.

Technical Specifications

• Weighing Capacity Options: Standard models handle up to 2,000 grams (2 kg) or 5,000 grams (5 kg)

• Readability / Resolution: 0.1 grams or 0.2 grams depending on the capacity model

• Front Beam Graduation: 0 to 10 grams (or up to 100 grams depending on setup)

• Rear Beam Graduation: Fixed larger increments (e.g., 100-gram to 1000-gram steps)

• Pan Material: High-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel or polished brass

• Platform Type: Dual-pan system for balancing samples against precision counter-weights

• Base Construction: Heavy-duty cast iron or die-cast aluminum frame with a durable powder-coated finish

Key Features

• Zero-Power Operation: Completely mechanical design that functions anywhere without batteries, charging cables, or wall outlets, eliminating electrical maintenance issues.

• Precision Sliding Riders: Designed with two notched beams and smoothly sliding metal riders that lock into precise increment notches for highly reliable mass determinations.

• Magnetic Damping System: Features a built-in magnetic dampening mechanism that brings the oscillating pointer to a quick stop, dramatically reducing measurement times.

• Manual Zero-Adjustment: Equipped with an easy-to-turn zero-adjust compensating nut at the end of the beam to calibrate the scale instantly before starting a weighing cycle.

• Rugged Industrial Durability: Built with a heavy, stable cast metal base that resists tipping, paired with agate bearings and steel knives to ensure low friction and long-term mechanical alignment.

Primary Applications

• School and College Laboratories: Teaching students core principles of mass, gravity, balance mechanics, and manual calibration practices in science classrooms.

• Remote Field Research: Performing soil classification, agricultural seed grading, and geological sampling in remote outdoor environments where electricity is unavailable.

• Basic Industrial Compound Mixing: Compounding raw dry powders, blending non-critical chemical solutions, and measuring ingredients in manufacturing environments.

• Workshop and General Utilities: Check-weighing hardware components, mechanical parts, and standard packages where digital sensitivities are unnecessary.
