Durable inclined plane for forces, motion, and energy investigations

Make simple machines and motion studies clear, repeatable, and student-friendly. Arbor Scientific’s Inclined Plane is a versatile, heavy-duty apparatus designed for investigating forces, motion, and energy with minimal experimental error. With a 100 cm long, 13.5 cm wide track, it easily accommodates cars, balls, blocks, and masses for a wide range of classroom investigations.

The inclined plane attaches easily to a stand (not included) and adjusts to virtually any height, allowing students to explore how angle affects motion and force. A precision pulley and roller assembly at the top supports equilibrium and force-balance experiments, while the sturdy construction ensures reliable performance through years of classroom use.

Why Teachers Love the Inclined Plane
  • Versatile and adjustable: Quickly changes height and angle to support many different experiments.
  • Designed for accurate data: Precision pulley and roller assembly help minimize friction-related errors.
  • Built to last: Sturdy powder-coated steel construction stands up to heavy, repeated student use.
  • Wide working surface: Accommodates a variety of carts, blocks, balls, and masses without crowding.

What You Can Teach with the Inclined Plane

Use from middle school through high school and introductory college physics to teach:

  • Simple machines and mechanical advantage
  • Forces on an incline (parallel and perpendicular components)
  • Newton’s Laws of Motion
  • Friction and rolling resistance
  • Work, energy, and conservation of energy
  • Equilibrium and force balance using the integrated pulley

Works With These Arbor Scientific Products

  • Ring Stand / Physics Workshop Stand — required to mount and adjust the inclined plane (sold separately).
  • Mass & Hanger Sets — for force, equilibrium, and tension experiments.
  • Dynamics Carts or Rolling Objects — investigate acceleration, friction, and motion on an incline.
  • Pulley & String Sets — extend equilibrium and force balance investigations.
  • Timers, Photogates, or Motion Sensors — collect quantitative velocity and acceleration data.

The Inclined Plane is a dependable, multi-purpose tool that helps students connect theory to motion—making it a staple for mechanics and simple machines units.

Products being sold are not toys. They are for Educational / Laboratory use only. They are not for use by children 12 and under.
