Pitch of Coil Spring Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pitch of Coil Spring = Free Length of Spring/(Total Number of Coils-1)
p = L_f/(N_t-1)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Pitch of Coil Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Pitch of coil spring is defined as the axial distance between adjacent coils in uncompressed state of spring.
Free Length of Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Free length of spring is defined as the axial length of an unloaded helical compression spring. In this case, no external force acts on the spring.
Total Number of Coils - Total Number of Coils in spring is the total number of turns made by wire along its length.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Free Length of Spring: 200 Millimeter --> 0.2 Meter (Check conversion here)
Total Number of Coils: 12 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

p = L_f/(N_t-1) --> 0.2/(12-1)

Evaluating ... ...

p = 0.0181818181818182

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0181818181818182 Meter -->18.1818181818182 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

18.1818181818182 ≈ 18.18182 Millimeter <-- Pitch of Coil Spring

What is free length of coil spring

Free length is an important dimension in spring design
and manufacture. It is the length of the spring in free
condition prior to assembly. Free length is given
by addition of compressed length and maximum deflection of spring.
