where C = spring index [unitless]

No spring (p)
The pitch is the distance between two consecutive coils from the middle of the spring material when the spring is in its most relaxed state. This value is not the same as the distance between two consecutive coils. It is longer because it includes the radii of the two neighboring coils.

p=(L f -3d)/N a

Where, p = spring pitch [mm], L f = free length [mm], d first dataset = wire diameter [mm] and N a = number of active coils

Spring constant
Stiffness, on the other hand, is an inherent property of a compression spring that determines how it deforms when subjected to a force. It depends on the geometry and materials used to construct the waveguide.

k=dG/8C 3 N a

Where k = yield rate [N/mm] and G = shear modulus of elasticity of the wire material [N/mm]. 2 ].

Compression springs are one of the most common types and are useful in various industries and installations. They are commonly used in the automotive sector for the suspension of cars. They help to minimize shocks and provide stability. They are also applied to engine valves, maintaining tension for efficient operation. Compression springs are very useful in the aerospace industry, especially in landing gears, where they facilitate the folding and positioning of the gears.



extension springs
Applications of extension springs
Extension springs are widely used in many fields that involve tension or tensile force within the equipment. These springs perform a wide range of functions in automotive construction. In brake assemblies, they are responsible for returning the brake pedal to its initial state after pressing it. In trunks or hoods, they contribute to opening and closing operations.
