Harvard Trip Balances

MECHANICAL SCALES & BALANCES

The Harvard Trip balance is carefully engineered to provide the accuracy necessary in comparative weighing.

The Ohaus Harvard Trip Balance Series are precision weighing instruments, designed to provide years of service with virtually no maintenance. Harvard Trip Balances employ a two-pan design based on the classic Roberval balance principle. They have the additional advantages of magnetic damping, beams with sliding weights and two styles of weighing platforms.

Two-pan Balances of this type are commonly used for comparative weighing to determine the difference in mass between two objects rather than their absolute value. Built-in sliding masses on the side beam, Model 1450-SD, is usually sufficient for this purpose. The 1450-SD Balance is a single side beam model. The 1500 Series (Models 1550-SD and 1560-SD) are double side beam models for higher capacity weighing. Maximum Balance capacity for all Harvard Trip Balances is 2kg/5lbs. The Platforms used on the Balances are 6" diameter stainless-steel plates.
