The selected springs are compressed using UTM apparatus, and the force and deflection of the springs is measured, to allow their spring rate to be calculated and compared with actual data.
There are three types of compression springs, each with differing spring rates.
Applications
- Automotive
- Compression
- Hooke’s Law
- Stacked Springs
- Energy storage
Learning capabilities
- To measure the stiffness of a spring and compare it with the theoretical value and manufactured tabulated values.
- To note how the stiffness is affected by the physical dimensions of the springs.
- To see how different spring arrangements can affect forces required for the same amount of movement.
