Design of Helical spring
Springs Springs Characterized By: Ability to deform significantly without failure Ability to store/release PE over large deflections Provides an elastic force for useful purpose
Springs How used in mechanical design? Shock/Vibration protection Store/Release PE Offer resisting force or reaction force for mechanism Example: Valve spring pushes rocker arm so lifter follows cam VCR lid – torsion springs keeps door closed
Function of Helical spring Helical spring is a spiral wound wire with a constant coil diameter and uniform pitch. Function of Helical spring Used to store energy and subsequently release it To absorb shock To maintain a force between contacting surfaces
Design consideration of helical spring
Nomenclature of Helical spring C = Spring Index D/d d = wire diameter (m) D = Spring diameter (m) Di = Spring inside diameter (m) Dil = Spring inside diameter (loaded ) (m) E = Young's Modulus (N/m2) F = Axial Force (N) G = Modulus of Rigidity (N/m2) K W = Wahl Factor = [(4C-1)/(4C+5)}]+ (0,615/C) L 0 = Free Length (m) L s = Solid Length (m) n t = Total number of coils n = Number of active coils p = pitch (m) y = distance from neutral axis to outer fibre of wire (m) τ = shear stress (N/m2) τ max = Max shear stress (N/m2) θ = Deflection (radians)
