Spring Mass Calculator
This calculator estimates the mass of a spring based on its material density and volume. It is useful in mechanical design and vibration analysis where spring weight affects system dynamics.
Mass Estimation from Spring Volume and Density
Spring Mass Formula
$$M = \rho \cdot V$$
Where:
- $$M$$ = mass of the spring (kg)
- $$\rho$$ = material density (kg/m³)
- $$V$$ = volume of the spring (m³)
This basic formula assumes uniform density and complete volume coverage.
Spring Resonant Frequency – Calculation Example
Given:
- $$\rho = 7800~\text{kg/m}^3 (steel)$$
- $$V = 0.0002~\text{m}^3$$
Calculation:
- $$M = 7800 \cdot 0.0002 = 1.56~\text{kg}$$
The mass of a spring is a critical factor in accurate vibration and resonance calculations. This tool lets engineers compute spring mass using only the density of the material and the geometric volume. It is particularly helpful in dynamic system modeling, where the spring’s weight contributes to inertia or affects balance in precision applications.
