In the first part<\/a> of this two-part series Gutekunst Federn<\/a> informed about the basics of spring design<\/a>. In this second part you will find the concrete calculation data for the design of compression springs<\/a>, extension<\/a> springs and torsion springs<\/a> (torsion springs). The Gutekunst spring calculation program WinFSB<\/a> is also available for individual Gutekunst spring calculation program WinFSB.<\/p>\n

The aim of the spring design of a compression spring, tension spring or torsion spring is to find the most economical spring for the given task, taking into account all circumstances, which also fits into the available space and achieves the required service life<\/a>. In addition to these manufacturing and material requirements<\/a>, the correct spring design<\/a> is of particular importance.<\/p>\n

Before calculating the spring, the following requirements of the metal spring should be compiled:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> type of load<\/a> (static or dynamic)<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Lifetime<\/a><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Operating temperature<\/a><\/p>\n

4. <\/strong> Ambient medium<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Required forces and spring deflections<\/a><\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> available installation space<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> tolerances(compression springs<\/a>, tension springs<\/a>)<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> installation situation<\/a> (buckling, transverse suspension)<\/p>\n

Each spring calculation consists of two stages:<\/strong><\/p>\n
