    Helical Coil Springs

    Uploaded by

    BakalMan
    This document discusses the design and properties of helical coil springs. 1) It provides equations to calculate spring properties like spring index, Wahl's factor, shear stress, deflection, pitch angle, spring rate, and more based on parameters like wire diameter, mean coil diameter, number of coils, applied force, and material properties. 2) It discusses good spring design practices like having a spring index of 5 or more and care needed for indexes below 5. 3) It also briefly covers spring configurations like concentric springs with equal/unequal lengths, non-concentric parallel springs, springs in series/parallel, and springs under impact loads.
