Load test results of the compression springs dimensioned by 30x16x2 mm.

(Nt: 5,5)

1- The first piece of spring has the origin (unloaded) length as 29,11 mm.

Ln (mm) F (N) Ln: Permitted loaded length

(Lo: 29,11 mm)
24,11 39 ΔL = Lo – Ln= 29,11-11,11=18 mm.
19,11 82
R (Spring rate)= F (Load) / ΔL = 183 / 18 =10,16
14,11 125
11,11 183

2- The second piece of spring has the origin length as 29,26 mm.

Ln (mm) F (N) ΔL = Lo – Ln= 29,26-11,26= 18 mm.

(Lo: 29,26 mm)
24,26 38 R (Spring rate)= F (Load) / ΔL = 180 / 18 = 10

11,31 183

5- The fifth piece of spring has the origin length as 29,44 mm.

Ln (mm) F (N) ΔL = Lo – Ln= 29,44-11,44= 18 mm.

(Lo: 29,44 mm)
24,44 39 R (Spring rate)= F (Load) / ΔL = 179 / 18 = 9,94
19,44 81
14,44 125
11,44 179

These rate values are very closed to the concerned value shown on the catalogue regarding the spring
dimensioned by (30 x 16 x 2).
