− | L = Length of spring<br />
| |
− | E = Modulus of elasticity<br />

| |
− | max = maximum bending force
| |
| | | |
− | The influence of the dimensions can be illustrated best by using the single side fixed beam model (Fig. 6.20). For small deflections the following equation is valid:
| |
− | :<math>F = \frac {3 x E x J}{L^3} x</math>
| |
− |
| |
− | where J is the momentum of inertia of the rectangular cross section of the beam
| |
− | :<math>J = \frac {B x D^3}{12}</math>
| |
− |
| |
− | For springs with a circular cross-sectional area the momentum of inertia is
| |
− | :<math>J=\pi D^4/64</math>
| |
− | :<math>D= Durchmesser</math>
| |
− |
| |
− | To avoid plastic deformation of the spring the max bending force σ<sub>max</sub> cannot be exceeded
| |
− | :<math>\sigma _{max} = \frac {3 x E x D}{2L^2}x_{max}</math>
| |
− |
| |
− | The stress limit is defined through the fatigue limit and the 0.2% elongation limit resp.
| |
− | :<math>x _{max} = \frac {2 x L^2}{3 x D x E}R_{p0,2}</math>
