Care is needed in counting the number of turns of a spring.
I will count the number of coils in the photo of the compression spring. The number of lines = the number of circles = 5, therefore the number of coils = 5, but it is important to note that this is not the case. In the case of springs, one complete turn is counted as one coil. If you start counting from the left end, it will be one coil at the red circle. The star-marked area is still less than one coil, approximately 0.5 coils. The number of coils in this spring = 4 coils. By the way, the one coil at both ends is in contact with the adjacent coil and is called a "seat coil." The role of the seat coil is to improve stability when standing, and the seat coil itself does not function as a spring. The number of coils excluding the seat coils, which effectively work as a spring, is called the effective number of coils. This spring has an effective number of coils = 2 coils, total number of coils = 4 coils. If you have any questions or concerns about springs, please feel free to consult us. Our technical staff will respond carefully. Technical Contact: Ujiie Phone: 0235-22-0407 FAX: 0235-22-0546 Email: web@tohj.com Tsuruoka Spring Co., Ltd. We also support web conferences.
