Helical spring is a spiral wound wire with a constant coil diameter and uniform pitch.

WHAT IS HELICAL SPRING?

FUNCTION OF HELICAL SPRING Used to store energy and subsequently release it To absorb shock To maintain a force between contacting surfaces

DESIGN CONSIDERATION OF HELICAL SPRING

• The design of new helical involves the following consideration. – Space into which the spring must fit and operate– Values of working forces and deflections– Accuracy and reliability needed.– Tolerances and permissible variations in specifications.– Environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure of

corrosive atmosphere.– Cost and qualities needed

STRESSES IN HELICAL SPRING

• A round wire helical compression is subjected to axial force.

• The effect of axial force is equivalent to:1. Torsional T=FD/2, acting on the wire cross section2. Direct shear force F acting on wire cross section

• So stresses induced in spring wire are,1. Torsional shear stress2. Direct shear stress

1. Torsional Shear Stress: - The torsional shear stress induced in a spring wire,due to torsional

moment T=FD/2 is given by,

2. Direct Shear Stress: - The direct shear stress induced in a springwire,due to direct shear

force F is given by,

BUCKLING

If free length of helical compression spring is too large as compared to the mean coil dia., the spring act as flexible column and it may buckle under the action of axial force.In order to avoid buckling, the spring must satisfy following condition
