EXTENSION AND COMPRESSION OF SPRINGS

A wall-mounted vertical bracket houses two independent mechanisms side by side for testing tension and compression springs. The left-hand side tests tension springs whilst the right-hand side tests compression springs. A set of springs is supplied allowing students to investigate the relationship between applied load and extension/compression.
