Question Spring Newbie

If a compression coil spring with equal pitches and a compression coil spring with unequal pitches have the same aspect ratio, which one is more likely to buckle?

Answer Tokai Spring

Spring Newbie, thank you for your question!
If the aspect ratio of equal-pitch compression springs and unequal-pitch compression springs is the same, it is considered that there is no big difference in buckling! However, if the pitch intervals of the unequal-pitch compression spring are extremely wide, it is possible that buckling is more likely to occur to this spring than to the equal-pitch one.
