The tables below describes the symbol nomenclature you can use when calculating your own equations/variables. Please note:.


  • All labels are case sensitive
  • Values returned are in metric units



Length

L0

Free length

Lk

Body length


Load

F0

Stress

k

Stress correction factor


Dimensions

d

Wire diameter

De

Outside diameter

Other factors

nt

Total coils

n

Active coils

nd

Dead coils

w

Spring index

R

Spring rate

Lw

Wire length

M

Mass of single spring

M100

Working positions

L1  or  L2

Length at position 1 or 2

F1  or  F2

Load at position 1 or 2

s1  or  s2

Deflection at position 1 or 2

Tau1  or  Tau2

Uncorrected stress at position 1 or 2

Tauk1  or  Tauk2

Tolerances


Note: for most of these values, it will depend on the currently selected tolerance grade. If this is "None", the result will be zero.

F1tol or F2tol

Load tolerance at position 1 or 2

L0tol

Free length tolerance

Dtol

Coil diameter tolerance
