Number of Active Turns of Engine Valve Spring given Pitch of Spring Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Active Coils in Valve Spring = Free Length of Valve Spring/Pitch of Valve Spring-1
N = L_f/p-1
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Active Coils in Valve Spring - Active Coils in Valve Spring is the number of coils or turns of a spring that actually contributes to the load-bearing capacity of the valve spring.
Free Length of Valve Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Free Length of Valve Spring is defined as the axial length of an unloaded helical compression spring. In In this case, no external force acts on the spring.
Pitch of Valve Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Pitch of Valve spring is defined as the axial distance between adjacent coils in the uncompressed state of the spring.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Free Length of Valve Spring: 122 Millimeter --> 0.122 Meter (Check conversion here)
Pitch of Valve Spring: 9.1 Millimeter --> 0.0091 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N = L_f/p-1 --> 0.122/0.0091-1

Evaluating ... ...

N = 12.4065934065934

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.4065934065934 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.4065934065934 ≈ 12.40659 <-- Active Coils in Valve Spring

Active Coils in Valve Spring = Free Length of Valve Spring/Pitch of Valve Spring-1
N = L_f/p-1

What is meant by stiffness of spring?

Spring stiffness is a characteristic that describes the relationship between load and deflection. If k is stiffness, P is load, and x is deflection,
Then P = k*x
The smaller the deflection at a constant load, the stiffer the spring, k.
