6.4.7 Contact Spring Calculations
[[File:One side fixed contact bending spring.jpg|right|thumb|One side fixed contact bending spring]]
Fig. 6.20:
One side fixed contact bending spring<br />L = Length of spring<br />E = Modulus of elasticity<br />B = Width of spring<br />F = Spring force<br />D = Thickness of spring<br />x = Deflection<br />
max = maximum bending force
The influence of the dimensions can be illustrated best by using the single sidefixed beam model (Fig. 6.20). For small deflections the following equation is valid:
F= x
