About Spiral Torsion Spring Calculator (Formula)
The Spiral Torsion Spring Calculator is a specialized tool for engineers and designers to determine the characteristics of spiral torsion springs, which are commonly used in various mechanical systems. The formula for calculating the torque or force exerted by a spiral torsion spring is as follows:
Torque (τ) = k * θ
Where:
- τ represents the torque or twisting force in Newton-meters (N·m).
- k is the spring constant, also known as the torsional spring rate, in Newton-meters per radian (N·m/rad).
- θ is the angular displacement or twist angle in radians (rad).
This formula describes the relationship between the torque applied to the spiral torsion spring and its angular displacement or twist. Spiral torsion springs are commonly used in applications that require torque or rotational force, such as in clock mechanisms, automotive systems, and various industrial machines.
The Spiral Torsion Spring Calculator provides a practical way to determine the torque and other relevant parameters of these springs, facilitating their proper selection and integration into mechanical designs.
