Hi guys,
We need help on deciding which type of leaf springs to use for our vibratory feeder. I did some research on the topic which leads me to some questions.
1. We need to know the Flexural Modulus of different materials, like stainless steel 304, 316, and plastics. Is there any free source on the net that provides this kind of information? We have searched on Internet but so far only come up with very limited information. Or is there any simple way to determine the modulus ourselves?
2. We also need to know the maximum stress the spring can withstand, so that we don’t break the spring by putting the feeder under long operation. Again, if there isn’t an information table, can we work that out by experiment?
Thank you for any help.
Alex
