The GUNT Coil Spring Vibrations Unit enables hands-on study of spring–mass systems, highlighting the influence of spring stiffness, mass, and distribution on oscillation frequency. With a rotating lever and adjustable mass positions, it provides an effective platform for understanding mechanical vibrations.
Product Features
- Helical springs generate spring force through elastic deformation of a metal band wound in an Archimedean spiral
- When a mass is attached, the system forms a spring–mass system
- Spring stiffness defines the resistance of the spring to elastic deformation and is a key characteristic variable
- Unit includes a helical spring connected to a rotating lever
- Masses can be attached to the lever at various distances to simulate different mass distributions
- Allows study of the effects of spring stiffness, mass, and distribution on oscillation frequency
- Deflection angle can be read on an integrated angle scale
- Designed to be fixed securely to a wall for stable operation
Benefits
- Facilitates exploration of fundamental vibration and elasticity concepts
- Supports both theoretical and experimental understanding of oscillatory behavior
- Adjustable setup encourages interactive learning and experimentation
- Ideal for mechanical engineering and physics education settings
