Maxwells Pendulum Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JA-PWL-9176
The Maxwells Pendulum (SKU JA-PWL-9176) is a Maxwell's wheel apparatus for studying the exchange between gravitational potential energy and rotational and translational kinetic energy. A wheel hangs from two wires wound in the same direction on its axle; when released it falls slowly while spinning fast, then rewinds the wires and climbs back up, repeating the motion. A position sensor allows the wheel's speed at the end of its fall to be measured. It is supplied by JaincoLab for college physics laboratories.
Specifications
The apparatus consists of a wheel suspended by two wires wound on an axle through its centre of gravity, with a position sensor for speed measurement; wheel and axle dimensions, mass and stand height are not listed and are confirmed on the quotation.

Experiments with the Maxwell's pendulum
Students release the wheel from a measured height, record its speed at the lowest point and compare the total kinetic energy with the potential energy lost, then study how the period depends on height and radius ratio.
- Conservation of mechanical energy with rotation
- Rotational and translational kinetic energy
- Moment of inertia of the wheel
- Dependence of period on drop height and radius ratio
- Rotational dynamics practicals in B.Sc physics

Frequently asked questions
How does the pendulum move?
The wheel falls slowly while spinning fast as the wires unwind, then rewinds them and rises again, repeating the motion.
What does the period depend on?
The initial height, the acceleration due to gravity and the ratio of the wheel radius to the axle radius.
How is speed measured?
With a position sensor at the end of the fall.
