EXPERIMENT NO 5:
5.1 Objective
To verify the relationship among the load on spring number of turns and degree of
rotation of a coil spring

5.2 Apparatus
 Coil spring apparatus
 Hanger
 Weight
 Two masses on the arm unit

5.3 Theory
 Spiral spring
A spring consisting of a wire coiled usually in a flat spiral or in a helix. Flat spiral
springs are also known as spiral torsion, clock springs or brush springs. They are characterized
by the requirement that the coil contact is minimized during operation.

 Ball bearing
A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation
between the bearing races. The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and
support radial and axial loads.

  Torsion spring
Torsion springs can be found in many applications, and can work in either a
clock wise counter-clockwise manner. They are commonly found in a multitude of products.

5.4 Procedure
i. Clamp the spring to give a number of active turns from 3 to 8 inclusive.

ii. Note the initial scale reading with the load hanger on the cord.

iii. Then add a weight and note the scale reading.

iv. Tabulate your results.

5.6 Observation and calculation

Thickness of spiral spring = 1mm
Radius of pulley = 49.7mm
Width of spiral spring =19.2mm
