A spring apparatus is often used to figure out the force constant of a spring. It has a ruler, spring (with a circular platform to add masses on) and a needle (place at 0 on the ruler). Because force and distance are directly proportional, as you add masses and see the distance on the ruler you can easily figure out the force constant with the equation Fe = kx , where Fe = FG = mg
A coil spring works by compressing and then expanding when a vehicle is going over pumps. Coil springs help make the ride a little smoother for most vehicles. The coils spring is attached to the undercarriage.
To generate a shock from a coil, you can use a transformer or an inductor in a circuit with a rapidly changing current. This change induces a high voltage across the coil due to electromagnetic induction. By using a switch to rapidly turn the current on and off, or employing a circuit with a capacitor, you can create a sudden discharge of electricity, producing a shock. Safety precautions are essential when working with high voltages to avoid injury.
A solenoid valve is a valve controlled by an electrical coil. A spring keeps the valve closed. When power is turned on to the coil, a plunger is pulled, opening the valve.
These terms apply to the coils inside a wattmeter. 'Pressure coil' is an archaic term for 'voltage coil', which is connected in parallel with the supply, while the 'current coil' is connected in series with the load.
A strut is a combination of a shock absorber and a coil spring
The coil spring provides suspension and absorbs shock.
Yes, the shock absorber portion of a strut can be replaced without changing the coil spring. This process involves disassembling the strut assembly to access the shock, allowing for the shock to be replaced independently. However, it's essential to ensure that the coil spring is in good condition and to follow proper safety precautions, as coil springs are under tension. If the spring shows signs of wear or damage, it might be wise to replace it at the same time.
the function of shock absorber is to prevent the coil spring or the spring bar to move freely or to prevent them to bounce as it is.that is why they put shock absorber to have a good riding comfort depends on the road condition
A strut looks like a shock absorber inside a coil spring.
Coilovers are coil springs designed to be mounted on the shock (special shock). It is a packaging/handling design that takes up less space than seperate coil spring/ shocks. They usually allow suspension height adjustment and improved handling.

<Important Note> Changing coil springs can be dangerous even with the proper tools. Raise and support your Civic. Remove wheel. Open hood or trunk. Remove any brake lines that are attached to the shock/strut assembly. Remove the 2 upper shock/strut nuts. <Important Note>DO NOT remove the center nut on shock/strut assembly as this will release the coil spring from the assembly. The result will be that the spring(which is still under pressure) can (and usually will) come flying out with a huge amount of force. Remove the lower shock/strut nut and bolt. Remove the shock/strut assembly from your Civic. <Important Note>You will now need a spring compressor tool which can be rented from your local retail auto parts store. When the coil spring is compressed, remove the center nut on your shock/strut assembly. Now you can safely remove the coil spring. Installation is the reverse of disassembly. <NOTE> These instructions only apply to OEM shocks/struts.
To install coil springs on a 1997 Jaguar XJ6, first, safely lift and secure the vehicle, then remove the wheel and disconnect the shock absorber. Use a spring compressor to safely compress the coil spring, then detach the old spring from the lower control arm. Install the new coil spring by positioning it in the lower control arm and decompressing the spring, ensuring it seats properly, then reattach the shock absorber and wheel before lowering the vehicle. Always refer to a repair manual for specific torque specifications and safety precautions.
is helical coil and coil spring are the same
You have to take the whole strut assembly off (shock and spring). Then with a spring compressor on the coil spring, take the top nut off the strut shaft and take the spring off. Once the spring is off the whole strut assembly is replaced which will contain a new shock. Then you already have the spring compressed, so you put the old spring on to new strut (shock) put the top back on, release the spring and tighten the nut. You have to have a vise to clamp the strut into to replace the strut body.
