10–5 A helical compression spring is made with oil-tempered wire with wire diameter of 0.

2 in,
mean coil diameter of 2 in, a total of 12 coils, a free length of 5 in, with squared ends.

(a) Find the solid length.


(b) Find the force necessary to deflect the spring to its solid length.
(c) Find the factor of safety guarding against yielding when the spring is compressed to its
solid length.

10–6 A helical compression spring is to be made of oil-tempered wire of 4-mm diameter with a
spring index of C = 10. The spring is to operate inside a hole, so buckling is not a problem
and the ends can be left plain. The free length of the spring should be 80 mm. A force of 50 N
should deflect the spring 15 mm.
(a) Determine the spring rate.
(b) Determine the minimum hole diameter for the spring to operate in.
(c) Determine the total number of coils needed.
(d) Determine the solid length.
(e) Determine a static factor of safety based on the yielding of the spring if it is compressed
to its solid length.

10–20 Consider the steel spring in the illustration.


(a) Find the pitch, solid height, and number of act ve turns.
(b) Find the spring rate. Assume the material is A227 HD steel.
(c) Find the force Fs required to close the spring solid.
(d) Find the shear stress in the spring due to the force Fs .

10–26 A compression spring is needed to fit over a 0.5-in diameter rod. To allow for some clearance,
the inside diameter of the spring is to be 0.6 in. To ensure a reasonable coil, use a spring index of
10. The spring is to be used in a machine by compressing it from a free length of 5 in through a
stroke of 3 in to its solid length. The spring should have squared and ground ends, unpeened, and
is to be made from cold-drawn wire.
(a) Determine a suitable wire diamete .
(b) Determine a suitable total number of coils.
(c) Determine the spring constant
(d) Determine the static factor of safety when compressed to solid length.
(e) Determine the fatigue factor of safety when repeatedly cycled from free length to solid
length.
