Coil Spring
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10503
Coil Spring (SKU LSK-MTE-10503) is a heavy-duty compression spring test kit, of the same design as springs used in vehicle suspensions, that a testing machine compresses so students can find its real spring rate. It gives mechanical engineering and automobile students a real component to test in machine design and strength-of-materials labs. Science Lab Supplies makes the kit at its Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and delivers it direct to colleges, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Two metal bosses locate the spring securely in the testing machine, which then compresses it. The machine's digital indicator measures the change in spring length for each change in applied force, so a force-displacement record is built up across the test.

Applications and Experiments for the Coil Spring
Students compress the spring in steps, record force and displacement, and calculate the actual spring rate. They then compare it with the theoretical rate worked out from the spring's dimensions, and the straight-line result demonstrates Hooke's law on a genuine engineering component.
- B.E./B.Tech mechanical: design of helical springs and stiffness in machine design practicals.
- Automobile engineering: behaviour of a suspension-type coil spring under load.
- Diploma and TVET engineering modules: Hooke's law and spring rate.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Coil Spring kit is supplied as the heavy-duty coil spring with its two metal bosses for holding it in the testing machine. Not included: the testing machine itself, which applies the load and provides the digital displacement reading; it can be quoted alongside the spring.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you need one spring kit or a set for each machine in a lab, we can quote it. The quotation covers packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and the Universal Testing Machine or other engineering lab equipment in India from this range can join the same document.
Registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a vehicle-type spring instead of a laboratory spring?
The spring is of the same heavy-duty design as those used in vehicle suspensions, which gives students a better understanding of a real-world engineering component than a light demonstration spring.
What does the experiment show?
It shows Hooke's law for force against displacement on a spring, and lets students compare the measured spring rate with the theoretical value calculated from the spring dimensions.
Does Science Lab Supplies make the Coil Spring kit?
Yes. It is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies in Saha, near Ambala, and buyers receive their quotation from the company itself, not from an agent.
Which testing machine is needed?
A testing machine that compresses the spring and has a digital displacement indicator. The Universal Testing Machine in this range lists coil spring tests among its optional parts.
