The spring wire length calculator can help you to calculate the length of wire needed to make a spring. For calculation, simply enter mean diameter (mm), number of coils into the input fields of the calculator. By pressing calculate button it will display spring wire length (mm) in the result field.
What is Spring Wire length?
Spring length refers to the total length of the wire needed to make a spring. It is an important measurement for manufacturing springs and ensuring they fit correctly in mechanical systems. There are two main components to consider when calculating spring length:
- Mean Diameter: The average diameter of the spring coil.
- Number of Coils: The total number of coils in the spring.
Spring is an important item for many devices. Manual calculation of any spring length is challenging. This calculator will simplifies the process for you, by using key parameters like the mean diameter, number of coils, and wire diameter.
How To Calculate Spring Wire length
This calculator calculates your values in two different methods basic and advance. Following is the calculation procedure for each mode.
1. Basic Calculation
In the basic mode, you can calculate the spring wire length using the following formula:
Variables:
- Mean Diameter (D): The average diameter of the spring coil.
- Number of Coils (N): The total number of coils in the spring.
- Wire Length (L): The total length of the wire needed.
2. Advanced Calculation
In the advanced mode, the calculation considers the wire diameter as well:
Variables:
- Mean Diameter (D): The average diameter of the spring coil.
- Number of Coils (N): The total number of coils in the spring.
- Wire Diameter (d): The diameter of the wire used.
- Total Spring Length (L): The total length of the wire needed including the wire diameter.
