Ticker Tape Timer Input 6V AC
Product Code : JA-M-7917
The Ticker Tape Timer Input 6V AC (SKU JA-M-7917) is a low-voltage timer that marks a moving ticker tape with evenly timed dots for motion experiments. Inside, an electromagnet fed with 6 V AC drives a striker against a carbon disc, printing a dot on the tape at the mains frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. This 6 V AC ticker tape timer connects through 4 mm terminal sockets and is manufactured in India by JaincoLab alongside a 12 V version.
Specifications
The timer takes a 6 V AC input, uses an electromagnet to drive a striker that prints dots through a carbon disc, marks the tape at 50-60 Hz depending on the mains frequency and has 4 mm terminal sockets.

Applications of the 6 V AC ticker tape timer
The 6 V AC timer is used wherever motion must be recorded and analysed later: the dotted tape from a moving trolley, a falling mass or a hand-pulled strip gives the distance travelled in each 1/50 s or 1/60 s interval.
- Velocity measurements on trolleys and runways
- Acceleration from successive dot spacings and ten-dot tape charts
- Momentum and collision experiments with two trolleys
- Free-fall measurement of the acceleration due to gravity
- Reaction-time and general timing activities in class

Frequently asked questions
What input does this timer need?
It takes a 6 V AC input through 4 mm terminal sockets.
How often are dots printed?
At the mains frequency, 50 or 60 Hz, so each dot interval is 1/50 s or 1/60 s.
How does it mark the tape?
An electromagnet activates a striker, which prints each dot through a carbon disc on to the ticker tape.
