Deflection of Spring Formula Elements

Variables
Deflection of Spring
Deflection of Spring is how much the length of a spring changes when force is applied or released.
Symbol: δ
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Axial Spring Force
Axial Spring Force is the force acting at the ends of a spring trying to compress or expand it in axial direction.
Symbol: P
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mean Coil Diameter of Spring
The Mean Coil Diameter of Spring is defined as the average of the inner and the outer diameters of a spring.
Symbol: D
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Active Coils in Spring
Active Coils in Spring is the number of coils or turns of a spring that actually contributes to the load-bearing capacity of the spring. All of the coils that aren't on the ends of a spring.
Symbol: Na
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modulus of Rigidity of Spring Wire
Modulus of rigidity of spring wire is the elastic coefficient when a shear force is applied resulting in lateral deformation. It gives us a measure of how rigid a body is.
Symbol: G
Measurement: PressureUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter of Spring Wire
Diameter of Spring Wire is the diameter of the wire of which a spring is made.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
