Compression Spring Design Calculator

Advanced Spring Design (ASD7) is a jointly developed spring design calculator created by Universal Technical Systems and the Spring Manufacturers Institute (SMI) that merges engineering expertise with customized calculations to aid manufacturers in the design of quality compression springs.

In addition to compression springs, the calculator aids manufacturers in the development of extension springs, spiral forms, torsion springs, garter springs, snap rings, washers, beams, and torsion bars.

Created in a completely graphical environment, Advanced Spring Design features convenient and automatic unit conversion as well as easy access to dynamic plots and reports. It also includes an expandable compression springs materials database, a profile system for saving and incorporating frequently used input data sets, as well as exportable DXF compression springs drawings.

The Advance Spring Design calculator allows users to input specifications to find compression spring rates and loads. Compression springs designs can also be backsolved for any variable of interest. Cylindrical and conical compression springs can be combined in series (stacked or continuous) and in parallel (nested).

This compression springs calculator provides SMI acceptable tolerances and calculates maximum safe loads. It also warns against potential design flaws such as settling or buckling.
