The spring stiffness of compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs, also known as the spring constant or spring moment rate, is a measure of the hardness of the metal spring. It indicates how much force is required to compress
Calculate the spring constant
The spring constant describes at Compression springs , Tension springs and Torsion springs the increase in force in relation to the Suspension travel , or with torsion springs in relation to the angle of rotation. It is also called Spring
Design spring body
Metal springs are used in various designs. In addition to the cylindrical design, which is most commonly used, there is also the conical, barrel-shaped design or for special ones dynamic Compression spring applications the beehive spring. Each design has a
Types of stress compression springs
Before interpreting the Compression spring It should basically be clarified whether the intended type of stress is static, quasi-static or dynamic. Static or quasi-static stress Time-constant (resting) load or time-changing load with less than 10,000 strokes in total or small
Tension spring tolerances
The tolerances for tension springs are defined in accordance with DIN 2097 (DIN EN 15800). Quality grade 1 describes the smallest tolerance zone (higher product price) and quality grade 3 the largest tolerance zone. Our tension springs are manufactured to
Tolerances compression springs
The tolerances for compression springs are defined in accordance with DIN 2095 (DIN EN 15800). Quality grade 1 describes the smallest tolerance zone (higher product price) and quality grade 3 the largest tolerance zone. Our compression springs are manufactured to
Hookese’s Law
Hookesche’s law describes the elastic deformation of solids in a linear special case of the Elasticity Act. In this process, the elastic force of the body changes with stretching or squeezing. When applying compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs
Calculate spring force
The spring force – also known as the tension force – arises when an elastic body is pulled apart or compressed – for example one Metal spring made of spring steel wire . An opposing force acts in it, which
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:
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
