Extension Spring, Steel (Product Code: SLE/PHY/303) is a closely wound steel coil spring with looped ends used to study motion, mass and potential energy in school and college physics practicals. Each spring is 225 mm long and 6 mm in diameter, stretches an average of 430 mm under a 200 g load, and is sold in packs of 200 for whole-class use. This mechanics lab equipment item is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The most common use is a Hooke's law investigation: hang the spring from a clamp by one looped end, add masses to the other, and record the extension for each load. Plotting load against extension gives a straight line while the spring behaves elastically, and its gradient gives the spring constant. With an average stretch of 430 mm for 200 g, the extensions are large enough to read easily with a metre rule.
The same spring supports oscillation work. Pull a hanging mass down slightly, release it, and time several complete oscillations with a stop clock to study simple harmonic motion and how the period depends on mass. It also shows that a stretched spring stores elastic potential energy. Keep loads well within the 750 mm maximum deflection so the coils return to their original length after each run.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Extension Spring, Steel. Production takes place at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and packs go factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Because the maker handles your enquiry, repeat orders for further packs are quoted without a middleman. Learn more on our company profile.

How much does the Extension Spring, Steel stretch?
The Extension Spring, Steel has an average extension of 430 mm for a 200 g load and a maximum deflection of 750 mm. These large extensions make readings easy for students in Hooke's law and oscillation experiments.
How many springs are in a pack of the Extension Spring, Steel?
The Extension Spring, Steel is listed as a pack of 200, which suits schools equipping several classes or lab groups at once. Confirm the number of packs you need when you request a quotation.
What are the dimensions of the Extension Spring, Steel?
Each Extension Spring, Steel is 225 mm long and 6 mm in diameter, wound from steel wire of approximately 19 swg. The coils are closely wound and both ends are formed into loops for hanging.
Can the Extension Spring, Steel be used for simple harmonic motion?
Yes. A mass hung from the Extension Spring, Steel can be displaced and released so students time its oscillations and study simple harmonic motion. Keep the total stretch well within the 750 mm maximum deflection.
