For Spring:
Lc = ¾ in = 19.05mm ; Do = ¾ in = 19.05mm
d = 1mm ; NT = 10 coils (Squared and Ground end)
G = 80 GPa (Ave. modulus elasticity for steel wire)
F = 14.72 N = 1.5 kg (based on plastic case and blades used in design)
c = Do - = 19.05mm – = 19.05mm ; Ne = NT – 2= 10 – 2 = 8
sc = = = 13.6mm
Lf = Lc + sc = 19.05mm + 13.6 mm = 32.65mm
Smax = ; Fmax = (SCmax)(k) ; Scmax = Lf - Ls ; Ls = (NT) (d) ; k=
Ls = 10 x 1mm = 10mm ; Scmax = 32.65mm –10mm = 22.65mm
k = = 1.08 ; Fmax = 22.65mm x 1.08N/mm = 24.462 N
Wahl’s Factor: K = + = + = 1.07
Smax = = = 1203.1N/mm2 ~ 1203.1 MPa
