QUESTION

1. Design a helical compression spring for the following conditions:

– ¾-inch maximum outside diameter
– 2 inches free length
– 35-pound load at a ½-inch deflection•
Assume severe service and S&G ends made from music wire. •
Try an outside diameter of .725-inch and solve for Dw.
• As many properties of the spring depend on the wire size, often a wire size is assumed and then
verified.
• Assume Dw = 0.1 for this first trial 2. Determine the number of coils necessary to meet the design
criteria using the spring from the previous problem (
