Philip Harris Ticker Timer

E8R06037

Product code: E8R06037

This extremely popular unit has revolutionised experiments because of the quality of the traces it makes, and the reliability of the mechanism ensures that ticker-tape experiments are no longer hit and miss.

There is no double-dotting or smearing, even at high speeds. No pen or carbon discs are required. Friction between tape and ticker-timer is kept to a minimum. Excellent results can be expected. The unit comes with a boss-head so that it can be easily clamped in a rod. Requires 2 - 4V AC from a low-voltage power supply. The unit is protected by a 2A internal fuse. Uses self-marking paper tape. Self marking tape is included.

  • Replacement Tape can be supplied separately: B8R07098
  • Key Stage 3 Physics - Motion and Forces: Speed and the quantitative relationship between average speed, distance and time (speed = distance ÷ time). 
  • Key Stage 4 Physics - Forces and Motion: Forces as vectors. Speed of sound, estimating speeds and accelerations in everyday contexts.  Interpreting quantitatively graphs of distance, time, and speed: Make and interpret measurements of distances, times, speeds and accelerations,and represent these in graphical form.
  • Setting a limit on Power Supplies is useful as the units run on a low voltage.
