Design of Helical spring
What is helical spring Helical spring is a spiral wound wire with a constant coil diameter and uniform pitch. Function of Helical spring • Used to store energy and subsequently release it • To absorb shock • To maintain a force between contacting surfaces
Nomenclature of Helical spring C = Spring Index D/d d = wire diameter (m)D = Spring diameter (m)Di = Spring inside diameter (m)Dil = Spring inside diameter (loaded ) (m)E = Young's Modulus (N/m2)F = Axial Force (N)G = Modulus of Rigidity (N/m2)K W = Wahl Factor = [(4C-1)/(4C+5)}]+ (0,615/C)L 0 = Free Length (m)L s = Solid Length (m)n t = Total number of coilsn = Number of active coilsp = pitch (m)y = distance from neutral axis to outer fibre of wire (m)τ = shear stress (N/m2)τ max = Max shear stress (N/m2)θ = Deflection (radians)

The module calculates the following design parameters: 1. Outer Diameter (Do) 5. Maximum load 2. Spring Index (C) 6. Corrected maximum stress index range is 4 to 12 3. Slenderness ratio 7. Uncorrect maximum stress 8. Wahl correction factor 4. Spring rate (k)
12. Shear stress 9. Maximum deflection 10. Spring mass 13. uncorrected Shear stress 11. Wire length 14. Natural frequency
CHECKING • Stability of spring (buckling) 2. Fatigue loading
