Hello,
IST suggests that the spring should operate between 20% and 80% of the maximal allowable stress in the body of the spring.
Do you have the same recommendation for the minimum?
What happen if the spring works below the 20%?
Will it impact the load tolerance?
Dear Pedro,
Thank you for contacting us!
We also recommend that the minimum load be between 20% and 80% of the spring’s maximum allowable stress.
If operated outside this range, the difference between the actual load and the calculated load will be large.
Below 20%, the actual load tends to be smaller than the calculated load and there is no effect on spring’s stress.
If you have any other questions, please let us know anytime!
Best regards,
Tokai Spring’s Support Team
