The mechanical balance and all of its industry standard variations dates back centuries. Whether you need a trip balance, triple beam balance, overhead mechanical balance, or industrial-sized mechanical balance, we have a wide range to suit your individual or institutional needs. We also carry several mechanical scales models along with triple beam balance geared for primary and secondary educational purposes and the scientists of tomorrow due to absolute value measurement results.
At Data Support Company (DSC Balances) we specializes in state of the art, high quality lab supplies including mechanical balances all at the lowest possible price. We carry mechanical balances from brands such as Ohaus, Adam Equipment, A&D, Radwag, Mettler, Sartorius, all standards of excellence in the commercial, laboratory, veterinarian and educational settings. Most of our brands are GLP, ISO and FCC compliant and built with the highest standards of excellence. Our balances have a maximum weight capacity from 2,610g to 1,000lb. Some of the mechanical balances we carry are equipped with stainless steel pan, magnetic damping, calibration weights, adjust compensator, and working on beam balance principle.
Please use our drop-down menu to sort by a wide range of specs for mechanical balances including price range, brand, results readability, grade, air flow rate, dimension, capacity and more. Contact our expert lab technicians for questions about which mechanical scales oppose to digital scales is right for you and for any additional information. DSC Balances is an authorized dealer of all brands and product lines we carry and many of our products come with a warranty.

How do mechanical balances contribute to teaching principles of mass, weight, and measurement?
Mechanical balances play a crucial role in educational environments like schools and universities by serving as effective tools to impart knowledge of mass, weight, and measurement principles. These instruments are commonly used to help students grasp fundamental concepts in physics and chemistry, facilitating a better understanding of these subjects through hands-on experience with weighing techniques. By utilizing mechanical balances, educators can offer students practical and visual demonstrations that enhance their learning and comprehension of how mass and weight are measured and how these properties relate to various scientific principles.
How does a mechanical balance compare to a digital balance in terms of speed?
When comparing the speed of mechanical balances to digital balances, the difference is quite notable. Mechanical balances require a few seconds for the beam to stabilize each time you adjust the weights, making the process slower. This inherent delay can be a drawback if you need rapid measurements.
On the other hand, digital balances offer a much faster alternative. They provide immediate readings without the need to manually balance the beam. This means you can achieve quicker measurements, saving valuable time. For anyone needing efficiency and speed, digital balances are the clear choice.
