Helical Compression Springs

Given: Squared and ground compression spring to work in a hole DH = 40 mm


(1.575") and exert P1 = 275 N (61.8 lbf) at a height of L1 = 60 mm (2.362") and P2 =
500 N (112 lbf) at a height of L2 = 50 mm (1.969"). Application: static at room
temperature. Material: oil tempered wire ASTM A229. Spring must not set when
compressed to solid height.

A. First estimate the wire diameter by solving equation (Equation 5-4) using
approximate values for unknown factors and KW1 = 1.

Then, calculate O.D. and D.

Substitute this wire size in the load deflection equation (Equation 5-2) and solve for
Na. Repeat this process until a satisfactory solution is obtained.

1. Rearranging Equation 5-4 for uncorrected stress:

2. Assume tensile strength of ASTM A229 is 1500 MPa and S2 = 700 MPa
uncorrected:

3. For clearance, assume O.D. = 0.95 DH:
