Compression Spring EN 13906-1

Compression Spring EN 13906-1 calculates basic quantities of a compression spring according to EN 13906-1 and performs static and dynamic check

USE:
  1. Insert data related to material and geometry
  2. Insert load data
  3. Spring static check, aimed to avoid plastic deformation > 2%
  4. Spring dynamic check, aimed to avoid fatigue failure

REMARKS:
Remarkable results are highlighted in yellow
