spring design is a very complex subject
geometrical configurations are often difficult to describe mathematically
notes on how to specify a spring manufacturing tips
and other information for specific spring design should be reviewed
this information is typically not available in spring design programs
but it is necessary for the most cost-effective design
and remember you can never provide too much information
compression springs have the most common spring configuration
they are used to resist applied for support to store
energy into pushing motion extension springs store energy and exert a pulling
force
they are usually made from round wire and are close wound with initial tension
torsion springs and double torsion springs are used to apply to work
depending upon assembly mg can be supplied in appalling
or pushing force wire forms are designed with a wide variety of shapes
to perform many functions there are no general design equations
for wire forms
