Long Cylindrical Spring (Resort) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Long Cylindrical Spring (Resort) (Product Code: SCL1219/08) is a long helical spring in silver-coloured stainless steel, 20 mm in diameter and 3 metres long, specified for an elongation of 3 times. Laid on the floor or a long bench and stretched between two students, it carries pulses and waves slowly enough for a whole class to follow them, so transverse and longitudinal motion can be compared side by side. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and forms the heart of a wave motion kit for schools in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

With one student holding each end, a quick sideways flick sends a transverse pulse along the coils, while a sharp push along the spring's length sends a band of compression that models how sound travels. Holding one end firmly shows that a pulse returns inverted from a fixed end; letting that end move freely shows it returning the same way up. Shaking one end at a steady rate sets up standing waves, and the class can point out nodes and antinodes, measure the wavelength with a tape and time pulses to estimate wave speed.

Work on a smooth, clear floor or a long bench, keep the stretch within the specified elongation so the coils are not permanently deformed, and never let go of a stretched end suddenly. Easy to see from the back of the room, the spring earns its place in any physics demonstration kit in India.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far can the spring be stretched?
It is specified for an elongation of 3 times. Staying within that limit keeps the coils evenly spaced and prevents permanent stretching.

Can it show both transverse and longitudinal waves?
Yes. A sideways movement of one end produces transverse pulses, and a push along the axis produces compressions and rarefactions.

What is it made of?
The spring is silver-coloured stainless steel with a cylindrical shape and a diameter of 20 mm.

How much space is needed for a demonstration?
It is 3 metres long before it is stretched, so a corridor, a long bench or a clear strip of classroom floor works best.

How can we stop it from tangling in storage?
Let the coils close up gently, tie the bundle loosely at a few points and store it in a box or bag so the turns cannot twist through each other.

Do you supply schools in bulk and abroad?
Yes. We quote class and bulk quantities for institutions and distributors in India and international markets; share the quantity and destination with your enquiry.
