I am a beginner in spring design.
Is it correct to think that a compression coil spring with a large lateral load does not have an even load on the bottom surface of the spring (= eccentric load) when pressed vertically, compared to a spring with a small lateral load? What is the ratio of the horizontal load to the vertical load, and is there an index of the horizontal load so that there will be no problem with the spring function? If you know how to easily check that an eccentric load is working without using a spring load measuring device, please let me know.
Thank you for your post.
– Is it correct to think that a compression coil spring with a large lateral load does not have an even load on the bottom surface of the spring (= eccentric load) when pressed vertically, compared to a spring with a small lateral load?
⇒The load works evenly, but the center of gravity of the load generated on the spring works deviating from the central axis of the spring.
– What is the ratio of the horizontal load to the vertical load, and is there an index of the horizontal load so that there will be no problem with the spring function?
⇒It cannot be said unconditionally because it may differ depending on the application. It is necessary to set an index for each application.
– If you know how to easily check that an eccentric load is working without using a spring load measuring device, please let me know.
⇒ In short, not really! In the end, it is necessary to use a load measuring instrument. Thank you!
