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
Easily find the right metal spring
Selecting or requesting the right metal spring for the desired application is not always easy. In addition to the type of spring, shape, dimensions and force characteristics, environmental influences and special properties often have to be taken into account. In
Procurement of metal springs
Always the right compression spring, extension spring and torsion spring – from the quick spring selection in the catalog, to the design and calculation of individual metal springs, to the CAD data generator for standard springs and freely calculated metal
Range of springs made to measure
Compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs are typical C-parts for most companies: They are not the focus of the procurement process, but are used in almost all technical applications. The requirements for the springs are very versatile and individual.
The right metal spring
Selecting the right metal spring for the desired application is not always easy. In many technical books with constructional basics, the subject of springs is treated in a very general way. If you are looking for a standard spring, you
Metal springs for extreme cases
Whether in corrosive liquids, at High temperature applications or at lowest temperatures , with dynamic or static loads, compressive, tensile or bending loads: With the Design of the metal spring in extreme cases there is more to be done than
Goodman Chart
The Goodman diagram enables the representation of the Fatigue strength of coil springs. It can be traced back to the Smith chart. This is used to calculate the fatigue strength of dynamically stressed components where the load is pulsating or
Spring steel wires and their properties
Which spring steel wire is suitable for which application? Spring steel wire compared to other steels has a higher strength and can be up to a certain voltage ( Elastic limit “Rp” ) are deformed. With this property, the spring
Types of stress extension springs
Description Formula symbol tension springs Before interpreting the extension spring it must be clarified whether the intended type of stress is a static or a dynamic stress acts. No general fatigue strength values can be given for dynamic loads on
Design of metal springs – Part 2 “Calculation
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
