Step 1
Determine the required number of active coils: The spring rate is given as 500 lb/in, which means that for every inch the spring is compressed, it will exert a force of 500 lb. The total load is 2000 lb, so the spring will need to be compressed by 2000/500 = 4 Show more…

Design a close coiled helical compression spring for a service load ranging from 2500 N to 3000 N. The axial deflection of the spring for the load range is 5 mm. Assume a spring index of 4. The permissible shear stress intensity is 450 MPa and modulus of rigidity, G = 84 kN/mm^2.

It is required to design a closed coil helical spring which shall deflect 1 cm under an axial load of 10 kg at a shear stress of 900 kg/cm^2. The spring is made out of round wire material having a modulus of rigidity 8*10^5 cm^2. The mean diameter of the coil is 10 times the diameter of the wire. Find the diameter and length of the wire.
