Featured Equipment

PASPORT Force Sensor

This sensor measures both pulling and pushing forces up to ±50 N.

PASPORT Motion Sensor

The PASPORT Motion Sensor accurately measures the position, velocity, and acceleration of a target. It can be used to track the motion of balls, carts, people, and more.

Discover Friction Accessory

Four plastic trays with unique surfaces (cork, felt, and 2 plastic) to use with dynamics carts and sensors.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
