STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Spring Angle Correction Factor = cos(Angle of Spring/Shock Absorber from Vertical)
cosθ = cos(θ_s)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Spring Angle Correction Factor - Spring angle correction factor is a measure of the adjustment made to the spring angle to optimize tire behavior and performance in racing cars.
Angle of Spring/Shock Absorber from Vertical - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of spring/shock absorber from vertical is the inclination of the spring or shock absorber from the vertical axis in a racing car's tire behavior.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Angle of Spring/Shock Absorber from Vertical: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)

What is Spring angle correction factor?

Spring angle correction factor is cosine of the angle of the spring/shock absorber with vertical when viewed from front view of car.

Significance of Spring angle correction factor.

If your spring is mounted at an angle you will need to consider that in your spring calculations. Measure the angle of your spring from vertical in degrees. The greater the installed angle, the stiffer the spring rate must be to support the same weight. First, determine the spring needed for the application if the spring is installed straight up. Then, to compensate for installations at different angles, find your ACF using the formula above, and divide your straight mounted spring rate by your Angle Correction Factor (ACF).
