When connecting in parallel, it is important to distribute the force acting on several springs. Whether the springs are placed next to one another or one inside the other depends on the space available. Springs standing next to each other should always be the same. The<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/en\/calculate-the-spring-constant\/\"> spring constant<\/a> , or.<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/en\/calculate-spring-rate-for-cylindrical-springs\/\"> spring rate<\/a> of the individual springs add up and form a new replacement spring that realizes higher forces with a smaller spring deflection. This creates a harder spring with a greater spring constant and spring stiffness. With a parallel connection, the individual springs are also less stressed, which increases the service life and fatigue strength. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/parallelschaltung-federn\/\">Formulas for calculating the total spring travel, spring force and spring constant of a parallel connection of springs.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-874\" style=\"width: 100px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/reihenschaltung-federn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7325\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Druckfedern_Reihenschaltung.png\" alt=\"Series connection of compression springs\" width=\"100\" height=\"358\" data-wp-pid=\"874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Druckfedern_Reihenschaltung.png 153w, https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Druckfedern_Reihenschaltung-84x300.png 84w, https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Druckfedern_Reihenschaltung-56x200.png 56w, https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Druckfedern_Reihenschaltung-112x400.png 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Series connection with compression springs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Series_connection_of_metal_springs\"><\/span>Series connection of metal springs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.federnshop.com\/reihenschaltung-federn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> series connection<\/a> of single feathers occurs less often. The springs are installed one behind the other with intermediate layers. With the series connection, unlike the parallel connection, the force acting on each spring is given the same strength. This creates a replacement spring which has a smaller total spring constant or total spring rate than the spring constant of the individual springs and in which the spring travel of the individual springs is added. In this way, not only can a soft overall spring with a low spring stiffness and a slow increase in force be developed, but with the right selection of springs, specific spring forces can be achieved in specific tension states in a targeted manner in a series connection.

The advantage of this type of spring is the greater force absorption in a small space, the disadvantage is a short spring deflection; this can only be compensated for by a larger wave spring column, which means that the space advantage is lost again. With spring systems made of round wire, the installation space for implementing the spring application may be larger, but with these spring systems any desired stress state can be realized linearly or progressively, and that with significantly lower production costs.<\/p>\n<p>Gutekunst Federn has decades of experience in the design of spring systems.
