Values for calculation

$ d $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ r $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ L $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ E $ $ \mathrm{GPa} $
$ φ $ $ \mathrm{°} $
$ σ_{adm} $ $ \mathrm{MPa} $

Calculation

Spring deflection

$$f=r\cdot φ\cdot\cfrac{π}{180}$$

Tensile stress

$$σ=\cfrac{E\cdot 10^3\cdot d\cdot f}{2\cdot r\cdot L}$$

$$σ\le σ_{adm}$$

Force

$$F=\cfrac{π\cdot d^3}{32\cdot r}\cdot σ$$

Safety factor

$$S_F=\cfrac{σ_{adm}}{σ}$$

Spring stiffness

$$k=\cfrac{F}{f\cdot 10^{-3}}$$
