The DIN 2098 standard includes a selection of cold formed cylindrical compression springs From 0.1 to 10 mm wire thickness in 525 standardized compression spring dimensions. The compression springs are of quality grade 2 according to DIN EN 15800 from
Calculate shear stress
After determining the spring dimensions, the Proof of strength be guided. For this purpose, the existing shear stress is determined. Shear stress for compression springs Shear stress compression spring from force: Shear stress Compression spring from displacement:
Selection of safety elements
Safety elements are small, almost inconspicuous machine components that are used in almost every construction. The form-fitting components act as guide elements to protect and limit other machine parts against axial play. The security elements are available in many designs.
Spring work
In the spring work “ W “ becomes through when tensioning the spring Deformation work potential energy generated and stored, which is released again when the spring is released. The spring work always results as the area below the Spring
Spring systems for special tasks
Spring systems are spring-technical applications made up of several individual springs, which together realize special tasks. These individually designed spring systems can be designed for a wide variety of applications. By selecting and arranging different springs, practically every desired force
Spring search made easy
Compression springs, extension springs, torsion springs, cotter pins, flat springs, shaped springs and many more types of springs – the world of metal springs is complex and extensive. Technical springs perform permanent work in countless products in secret. Now imagine
Surface treatments for steel springs
Compression springs , partly too Tension springs and Leg springs The subsequent treatment of their surfaces gives them additional properties – depending on the application, they become, for example, harder, more rustproof or more heat-resistant. Gutekunst feathers offers for his
Calculate spring rate for cylindrical springs
The spring rate, also called spring constant or spring hardness, depends on the spring material and the shape of the compression spring, extension spring or torsion spring. The formula for calculating the spring rate for cylindrical springs made of round
Spring end bearings and buckling limits
Depending on the size, guidance and bearing, compression springs are at risk of buckling. When guided by mandrel or sleeve, the spring cannot buckle. In other cases, it depends on the design of the bearing(EN 13906-1 / 9.14). The spring
Design of metal springs – Part 1 “Basics”
Below is the summary of the basics about Spring design of Compression springs , Tension springs and Leg springs . Technical springs are still one of the most important machine elements today and are used successfully in vehicles, precision mechanical
