Calculation of contact spring

Calculation of shaped springs made from flat material

To help you better understand the design of contact springs, we have provided this calculator.
By selecting the material, a defined angle α and the extended leg length U, you can calculate the deflection S.


The forces actually achieved in practice as a function of spring travel are verified using force-displacement transducers. Corresponding diagrams are also available for all standard springs.
