Linear Air Track

Linear Air Track

This kit is designed to provide a cost-effective system for the study of all aspects of dynamics in a virtually friction-free environment. It is particularly effective in the field of collisions where conservation of momentum is dramatically demonstrated. The kit contains everything required for a vast array of experiments covering: velocity; force and acceleration; potential energy; kinetic energy; conservation of energy; SHM; motion on level and inclined planes etc. The track itself measures 2 metres overall and is made from strong 56 x 56mm extruded aluminium. Gliders are designed to accept standard slotted masses for additional loads. It is supplied with a comprehensive accessory pack to facilitate every type of interaction.

Overall dimensions: 2055 x 224 x 180mm.
Total weight: 9kg.

Glider lengths: 120mm, 240mm.
Recommended operating temperature: 10 to 40°C.
Recommended operating humidity: <85%.

It is supplied with a range of accessories including vehicles with mass attachments, catapults, buffers and an air blower (code: LINBLO). For measurement of glider speeds, standard light gates and timers are required.
