How do you determine the dimensions of a helical spring?

Title: Deciphering Helical Spring Dimensions - Quick Guide
Description:
Unlock the secrets of helical spring design with this concise guide on determining crucial dimensions. Follow these key steps:
Identify Application Requirements: Understand the functional requirements of the spring within its application, considering factors like load, deflection, and material properties.
Determine Spring Rate: Calculate the spring rate, representing the stiffness of the spring, using the formula: Spring Rate = Force / Deflection.
Select Material: Choose an appropriate material for the spring based on mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and environmental factors.
Define Wire Diameter: Calculate the wire diameter using the spring rate and allowable stress in the material, considering safety margins.
Calculate Coil Diameter: Determine the coil diameter based on the number of active coils and wire diameter.
Compute Pitch and Helix Angle: Calculate the pitch (distance between successive coils) and helix angle (angle between the coil axis and a plane perpendicular to the spring axis) to achieve the desired characteristics.
Validate with Standards: Cross-reference your calculated dimensions with industry standards and best practices to ensure compliance.
Consider End Configurations: Factor in end configurations such as hooks or loops, accounting for their impact on the overall dimensions.
