Ticker Tape Timer 12V
Product Code : JA-M-7914
The Ticker Tape Timer 12V (SKU JA-M-7914) records motion by printing dots on a moving paper tape: an electromagnet drives a striker that presses a carbon disc onto the tape at the mains frequency, giving 50 or 60 dots per second. Because the time between dots is fixed, their spacing shows how fast and how uniformly an object moved. This 12 V ticker tape timer has 4 mm terminal sockets and is manufactured in India by JaincoLab, which also lists a 6 V version.
Specifications
The timer works from 12 V, uses an electromagnet-driven striker and a carbon disc to mark the tape, prints dots at 50-60 Hz according to the mains frequency and connects through 4 mm terminal sockets.

Applications of the 12 V ticker tape timer
The ticker tape timer is used in mechanics practicals to turn a motion into a permanent record: each dot interval is 1/50 s or 1/60 s, so the distances between dots can be measured to find velocity and acceleration.
- Measuring the velocity of a trolley on a runway
- Finding acceleration from tape charts and velocity-time graphs
- Investigating Newton's second law with trolleys and hanging masses
- Measuring the acceleration of free fall
- General timing of short events in class experiments

Frequently asked questions
How does the ticker tape timer mark the tape?
An electromagnet activates a striker, which prints dots on the ticker tape through a carbon disc.
At what rate are the dots printed?
At 50 to 60 Hz, depending on the mains frequency, so each interval is 1/50 s or 1/60 s.
Which voltage versions are available?
This listing is the 12 V timer; a 6 V version is listed separately. Both have 4 mm terminal sockets.
