Spring Index given Wire Diameter of Inner and Outer Springs Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Spring Index of Coil Spring = (2*Wire Diameter of Outer Spring)/(Wire Diameter of Outer Spring-Wire Diameter of Inner Spring)
C = (2*d₁)/(d₁-d₂)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Spring Index of Coil Spring - Spring index of coil spring is defined as the ratio of mean coil diameter of the spring to the diameter of the spring Wire.
Wire Diameter of Outer Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Wire Diameter of Outer Spring is defined as the diameter or the thickness of the outer spring wire.
Wire Diameter of Inner Spring - (Measured in Meter) - The Wire Diameter of Inner Spring is defined as the diameter or the thickness of the inner spring wire.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wire Diameter of Outer Spring: 6.5 Millimeter --> 0.0065 Meter (Check conversion here)
Wire Diameter of Inner Spring: 5.5 Millimeter --> 0.0055 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = (2*d₁)/(d₁-d₂) --> (2*0.0065)/(0.0065-0.0055)

Evaluating ... ...

C = 13

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

13 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

13 <-- Spring Index of Coil Spring

What exactly is spring index?

In the design of helical springs, the designer should use good judgment in assuming the value of the spring index C. The spring index indicates the relative sharpness of the curvature of the coil. A low spring index means high sharpness of curvature. When the spring index is low (C < 3), the actual stresses in the wire are excessive due to the curvature effect. Such a spring is difficult to manufacture and special care in coiling is required to avoid cracking in some wires. When the spring index is high(C > 15), it results in a large variation in the coil diameter. Such a spring is prone to buckling and also tangles easily during handling.

How to Calculate Spring Index given Wire Diameter of Inner and Outer Springs?
