Rate of Spring Formula Elements

Variables
Stiffness of Spring
Stiffness of Spring is a measure of the resistance offered by an elastic body to deformation, every object in this universe has some stiffness.
Symbol: k
Measurement: Stiffness ConstantUnit: N/mm
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.
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.

How to Evaluate Rate of Spring?

Rate of Spring evaluator uses Stiffness of Spring = Modulus of Rigidity of Spring Wire*Diameter of Spring Wire^4/(8*Mean Coil Diameter of Spring^3*Active Coils in Spring) to evaluate the Stiffness of Spring, Rate of Spring formula is defined as a measure of the stiffness of a spring, which is a critical parameter in determining the stress and deflections of a spring under various loads, and is essential in the design and analysis of spring-based systems in mechanical engineering. Stiffness of Spring is denoted by k symbol.

FAQs on Rate of Spring

What is the formula to find Rate of Spring?
The formula of Rate of Spring is expressed as Stiffness of Spring = Modulus of Rigidity of Spring Wire*Diameter of Spring Wire^4/(8*Mean Coil Diameter of Spring^3*Active Coils in Spring). Here is an example- 0.005926 = 86400000000*0.004^4/(8*0.036^3*10).
How to calculate Rate of Spring?
With Modulus of Rigidity of Spring Wire (G), Diameter of Spring Wire (d), Mean Coil Diameter of Spring (D) & Active Coils in Spring (Na) we can find Rate of Spring using the formula - Stiffness of Spring = Modulus of Rigidity of Spring Wire*Diameter of Spring Wire^4/(8*Mean Coil Diameter of Spring^3*Active Coils in Spring).
What are the other ways to Calculate Stiffness of Spring?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Stiffness of Spring-
  • Stiffness of Spring=Axial Spring Force/Deflection of SpringOpenImg
Can the Rate of Spring be negative?
No, the Rate of Spring, measured in Stiffness Constant cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Rate of Spring?
Rate of Spring is usually measured using the Newton per Millimeter[N/mm] for Stiffness Constant. Newton per Meter[N/mm], Kilonewton per Millimeter[N/mm] are the few other units in which Rate of Spring can be measured.
