How do I design a spring given only pressure and the the maximum length by which it can be compressed. I tried using the formula P=F/A but I don't have the force to be applied on that spring.
A helical compression spring is a type of mechanical spring that is designed to store energy by compressing and releasing when a force is applied. It is typically made of a round wire that is coiled into a cylindrical shape, with space between the coils to allow for compression.
There are several types of helical compression springs, including open-ended, closed-ended, conical, and barrel-shaped. Each type is designed to serve a specific purpose and can vary in size, shape, and material.
Helical compression springs are commonly used in a variety of applications, such as in mechanical devices, automotive suspensions, and industrial equipment. They are also used in everyday objects, such as pens, mattresses, and door handles.
Helical compression springs can be made from various materials, including steel, stainless steel, titanium, and bronze. The choice of material depends on the specific application and the required strength and durability of the spring.
The right helical compression spring for your needs will depend on factors such as the required load, deflection, and space limitations. It is best to consult with a spring manufacturer or engineer to determine the most suitable type and size of spring for your specific application.
