A software program that designs custom compression, extension and torsion springs. A spring calculator determines spring rate, spring constant, the springs maximum distance traveled and the springs maximum load or force. The spring calculator also produces custom spring 3D CAD files as well as blueprints and spec sheets and 3D views of your spring. The spring calculator also calculates the spring index and the spring weight.
Designing a spring can be tricky, but The Spring Stores online tools make it simple. With cutting-edge online software like Spring Creator 5.0 spring calculator which utilizes the spring force formula and hooke's law spring equations to design compression, torsion, and extension springs. Here's how our spring calculator empowers you to design your ideal spring online.
How to Design a Spring?
Spring Creator Calculator 5.0 is your go-to solution for accurate spring design. It offers a user-friendly platform for crafting compression, extension and torsion springs, allowing you to tweak parameters such as wire diameter, outer diameter, free length and total coils with ease. This comprehensive spring calculator tool incorporates the spring constant equation and spring compression formula, helping you optimize your spring designs while reducing prototyping errors.
Our compression spring calculator works By entering various input parameters such as wire diameter, outer diameter, number of coils, users can obtain all the crucial technical data such as spring rate (or spring constant), maximum spring load capacity, and safe spring travel limits. This is the best robust spring calculator on the internet that gives you custom spring 3D CAD files, blueprints/spec sheets and an online spring force tester to test your spring force visually. By imputing just 4 inputs such as wire diameter, outer diameter, free length and total coils. The user will discover over 21 key spring parameters that explain every technical detail about your spring.
I need a compression spring that can go over a ⅜ shaft or 0.375 inches. This means I need a spring Inner Diameter of at least 0.400 inches so the spring can go over the shaft smoothly with no friction.
I need a compression spring to have at least a 3.000" Free Length.
I also need this compression spring to give me 1.500 inches of compression travel distance.
I need this compression spring to give me a load of 8 lbs or greater at the 1.500 inches of travel or loaded height.
Our compression spring calculator lets you run a range calculation giving the user a lot more options than just one spring design. With this in mind it's good to enter minimums and maximum inputs for your spring calculation.
Click on the Compression Spring Icon and move the slider bar to “Inner Diameter” then enter 0.400 inches as “Minimum” then enter 0.500 as Maximum” In the Free Length inputs enter 2.800 inches as “Minimum” and 3.250 inches as a Maximum. Then click calculate.
- Your compression spring calculation retrieved 305 results.
- From this point click “Add Filter” then choose “Inner Diameter” and enter between 0.427 inches and 0.473 inches.
- Then choose “Free Length” and enter between 3.020 and 3.020 inches.
- Then choose Maximum Deflection (Travel) and enter between 1.585 and 1.6262 inches
