Compression Spring Design (Static Loads) : Music Wire

The document discusses the design methodology for compression springs under static loads. It describes how the desired maximum force is determined by the wire diameter, spring diameter, and material. The safe spring stroke approaches the yield stress when the coils just touch at the yield pitch. The desired stroke then determines the number of coils needed. It also mentions that presetting the spring allows for higher static working stresses.

COMPRESSION SPRING DESIGN (Static Loads)

the design methodology


the Desired Maximum Force is typically your design choice, fully DETERMINED by d, D, & material
The optimized Safe Spring approaches yield stress when the coils just touch (i.e. the "yield" pitch)
The Desired STROKE then determines the number of coils needed
Juvinall's book describes presetting (i.e. work hardening) which allows higher STATIC working stresses
