Editor's review

MITCalc helps with torsion spring design.

The calculations provided by MITCalc are intended for the purposes of geometric and strength designs of spiral cylindrical torsion springs. Spring designs that are made from wires and rods in circular sections, cold formed and loaded with a static or cyclic loading are handled. The software is based on MS Excel and the interface is available in multiple languages. Both Imperial and metric system of units are supported. The spring design is automatic. What you get is the optimal design of the spring with respect to strength, geometry and weight. Several variable related to strength of materials also are taken into account. You can specify if the material is going to be cold formed or hot formed spring. The effects of static and dynamic strength tests can be estimated.

The interface is simple, you simply check tick the check boxes as appropriate. You can specify load conditions, operational and production parameters. Options to choose material are also available in the input section. You specify the design parameters in the spring design section. Summarized list of designed spring parameters, parameters specific to designed load conditions and parameters related to fatigue loading are output in the results section. Supplementary design data available include spring check calculations, calculations of working forces of the spring, calculation of working angles of the spring etc. Finally it produces a CAD drawing too and you can tick the check box if you need that. CAD drawing formats supported are AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, IntelliCAD, Ashlar Graphite, TurboCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge and Pro/E. Design parameters conform to ISO, ASTM/SAE, DIN, BS, JIS standards.

Publisher's description

The calculation is intended for the purposes of geometric and strength designs of spiral cylindrical torsion springs
made of wires and rods in circular sections, cold formed, loaded with a static or cyclic loading. Application is
developed in MS Excel, is multi-language and supports Imperial and Metric units and solves the following main
tasks:
- Automatic design of the spring.
- Selection of the optimal design of the spring with respect to strength, geometry and weight.
- Static and dynamic strength tests.
- Support for Cold formed springs and Hot formed springs
- Calculation of the working forces of a spring with known production and mounting dimensions.
- Calculation of mounting dimensions for known spring loading and production parameters.
- The application includes a table of commonly used spring materials according to ISO, ASTM/SAE, DIN, BS, JIS
and others.
- Support of 2D CAD (AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, IntelliCAD, Ashlar Graphite, TurboCAD) and 3D CAD in full
calculation package (Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Pro/E).
The calculation is based on data, procedures and algorithms from specialized literature and the standards EN
13906-2, and DIN 2088.This module is a part of MITCalc - Mechanical and Technical Calculation Package for
gear, belt and chain drives, springs, beam, shaft, bolt connection, shaft connection, tolerances and many others.
