How does a Mechanical Scale work? (Spring Scale)

Come learn how a Mechanical Scale works with 3D Animation!
We'll also dive into some physics with Hooke's Law.

🎧Here is some of the gear that I use for animation:

📼Video Summary:
The two types of scales: a Hanging Scale and a Floor Scale. The Hanging Scale using a Rack and Pinion Gear and two springs to tell us how far much weight is on the scale. The Pinion Gear turns and affects which number the red pointer is going towards. This works because of Hooke's Law - which tells us the relationship between how much the spring stretches to how much force is used. However, if the Elastic Limit then the scale may no longer work properly. The floor scale works off of similar principles but the spring is a lot smaller and the weight is distributed across several supports. If the scales get off then they may need to be calibrated to adjust where the 'zero' mark is.

This guy is soooo underated for the work he does, he should have had more than 15 million subs

Another fantastic animation and explanation. Great work man!

[funtimeh]

Can we just take the time to appreciate not only how talented Jared is at Blender, but the fact that Blender is free for how freaking powerful it is?

[BranchEducation]

Fantastic animation!! I was hooked on the first second of watching it. Keep up the great work!

0:45 let's spring right into it 🤣
nice pun Jared ☺️

Extraordinary..I feel this video cannot be improved further..😊😊

Hey Jared, just wanted to say you’re videos are super informative and the animations are oddly satisfying to watch. It must not be easy having to create each model and animating them as smoothly as you do. I appreciate the hard work you’re constantly putting in to produce these. I imagine monthly videos are almost their own full-time job. Keep it up! You’re doing a wonderful job

I was curious about this since childhood. Now I finally know what's going on inside the scale.

[mrlutrox]

Got a idea, do a video “How does it works the Soyuz Rocket”

[akansha]

Splendid animations! I don’t have enough words to tell how amazing your 3D animations are! Great work!

[karthickc]

Man the amount of work you put in for these videos is unbelievable! You are a one man army Jared! Thanks a lot for these top of the line animations!

[jaydeepshah]

This guy should be a professor. He makes it so easy that one could even start a manufacturing unit of weigh scales.

Those 7 dislikes were from the digital scale companies.

This was absolutely fascinating! I just love learning about everyday objects that most no-one gives a second thought to. Thank you for the great content :)

[Romualdomgn]

Thank you for such an amazing animation and clear explanation of this sophisticated mechanism.

[manavmnair]

Sir Jared Owen, Your videos are really good. It helps me learn the mechanical side of every Tool. But I would be really pleased to see you uploading videos more often. All the best for your future videos and keep educating millions like me 😊😊

[svigneshkumar]

Hey Jared can you explain, how the wall clock works

[juliocosta]

One of the best animated explanations I've yet seen. Excellent work!

[kencarp]

So well done! I have no idea how you make all of these wonderful animations, but they are all awesome! Watching them gives the viewer a very thorough understanding of exactly how the machines actually work.

I still have a spring scale in one of my bathrooms
