Spring Calculator Module

Extension Spring Calculator

Design helical extension springs with various hook configurations (Machine, Cross, Side). Calculate spring rate, initial tension, and stress at both body and hooks.

Input Parameters

Extension Spring

Spring rate is computed from the body coils using the same formula as compression springs. Total Load = Initial Tension + k·Δx.

💡 Enter either L or F, the other is auto-calculated (F = k × δ)

Enter F or x / L, system auto-completes: F = P0 + k·x (where x = Li − Li0)
