Spiral torsion springs

Values for calculation

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

Calculation

Tensile stress

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

$$σ\le σ_{adm}$$

Safety factor

$$S_F=\cfrac{σ_{adm}}{σ}$$

Spring deflection

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

Spring angular deflection

$$φ=\cfrac{f}{r}\cdot\cfrac{180}{π}$$

Spring stiffness

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