Helical torsion spring round D d φ r F
Helical torsion spring round

Values for calculation

$ d $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ D $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ r $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ n $
$ E $ $ \mathrm{GPa} $
$ F $ $ \mathrm{N} $
$ σ_{adm} $ $ \mathrm{MPa} $

Calculation

Applied torque moment

$$M=F\cdot r\cdot 10^{-3}$$

Bending stress

$$σ_B=\cfrac{32\cdot M\cdot 10^3}{π\cdot d^3}$$

$$σ_B\le σ_{adm}$$

Safety factor

$$S_F=\cfrac{σ_{adm}}{σ_B}$$

Spring angular deflection

$$φ=\cfrac{2\cdot π\cdot D\cdot n\cdot σ_B}{E\cdot 10^3\cdot d}\cdot\cfrac{180}{π}$$

Spring stiffness

$$k=\cfrac{F}{r\cdot 10^{-3}\cdot φ\cdot\cfrac{π}{180}}$$

Energy stored

$$E_p=\cfrac{F\cdot r\cdot 10^{-3}\cdot φ\cdot\cfrac{π}{180}}{2}$$
