In the first part of this two-part series Gutekunst Federn informed about the basics of spring design. In this second part you will find the concrete calculation data for the design of compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs (torsion
Spring characteristic
The spring characteristic shows how the metal spring behaves at work. It describes the relationship between spring force ( F ) and spring deflection ( s ). Depending on the type of spring or the spring system used, a distinction
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
Information torsion springs
Leg springs, also known as torsion springs, are mechanical energy stores that absorb a torque when the legs are angularly / rotationally moved, which they release again when they are released. Gutekunst Federn offers quick selection and procurement of torsion
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
