The spring characteristic shows how the metal spring<\/a> behaves at work. It describes the relationship between spring force<\/a> ( F<\/strong> ) and spring deflection ( s<\/strong> ). Depending on the type of spring<\/a> or the spring system<\/a> used, a distinction is made between linear ( b<\/strong> ), progressive ( a<\/strong> ), degressive ( c<\/strong> ), or combined spring characteristic.<\/p>\n

\"Spring<\/p>\n

A progressive spring characteristic ( a<\/strong> ), which increases the force as the deflection increases, is obtained with a conical spring design<\/a> and with one mixed circuit of single spring<\/a> n. A linear spring characteristic ( b<\/strong> ), which releases the force evenly as the compression increases, is obtained with cylindrical design<\/a> and with one row<\/a> or parallel connection<\/a> . A degressive spring characteristic ( c<\/strong> ), which reduces the force as the compression increases, can be achieved with a disc spring column<\/a> .<\/p>\n

\"Combined
Combined spring characteristic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A combined spring characteristic ( 5<\/strong> ), which abruptly changes the force properties in certain compression states, can be achieved with combined spring designs and special rows<\/a> – or mixer circuits<\/a> can be achieved by single springs. The spring characteristic ( 4th<\/strong> ), with a high preloaded force and a low force curve, is achieved with a soft preloaded spring<\/p>\n

The spring rate ( R.<\/strong> ) is the slope of the spring characteristic in the spring diagram. With a linear spring characteristic, the spring rate is constant. Springs with a curved spring characteristic have a variable spring rate. With a linear spring characteristic, the following applies:<\/p>\n

With compression springs and tension springs<\/p>\n

\\Large R = \\frac{F2 - F1}{s2 -s1}<\/span><\/p>\n

With torsion springs \/ torsion springs<\/p>\n

\\Large R = \\frac{M2 - M1}{\\alpha2 -\\alpha1}<\/span><\/p>\n
