Compression Spring Design Definition: kum'prê[sh]un spri[ng] A compression spring is a mechanical device in the shape of a helix made from spring wire. It is used to store or release energy. It can also absorb shock or maintain a force between two surfaces. Overview: Compression springs ...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a program for compression spring design that narrows input items required when designing a compression spring down to the minimum, facilitates data input by using different colors for input instructions, cuts design time which used to be enormous, and reduces differ...
Compression spring design and general considerationsLet's first consider stress, set and weight as important considerations in establishing a custom spring design which need to be understood at the outset.Chris PettsDesign Products & Applications
Both sides of a compression spring will apply this outwards compressive force. There are also extension springs. Extension springs feature a single piece of coiled metal as well, but they use a different design than compression springs. Extension springs are designed to apply an inward force from...

This calculator allows you to search for arange of spring constantkvalues when all you have is a range ofspring forcesand deformedspring lengths. Can a single spring meet the ranges in your design requirements? Furthermore, will spring manufacturing tolerances add any complications? Use this calcul...
An adjustable-length compression spring comprises a casing filled with pressure fluid. A piston rod is sealingly extended through a guide and seal unit which closes the casing, a piston, which is sealingly guided therein, being joined to the piston rod. The piston divides the casing into two...
The allowable normal flange stresses in the Guide Specifications for “Allowable Stress Design” are based on the research that Culver (1972) and coresearchers conducted as part of the CURT project. The “Load Factor Design” portion of the Guide Specifications is based on research by Galambos (...
These coil springs can function individually, though commonly assembled over a guide rod or equipped inside an opening. Typical Compression Spring Design Terms According to the Spring Manufacturers Institute Handbook of Spring Design, commonly used compression sp...
