MDESIGN Seminar

Dimension compression and tension springs
in accordance with
DIN EN 13906

Limited installation space, high demands on service life and function - and a spring
and a spring that has to fulfill all of these reliably? Standard challenges for you.
In this seminar, we will show you how to dimension compression and tension springs in accordance with
DIN EN 13906 and how to get typical problems under control.

From material selection, strength and service life verifications
to basic equations, buckling, relaxation and practical exercises
you will gain practical knowledge for your daily work.

This seminar is independent of the MDESIGN.
It is not necessary to install or use the software.

These topics await you...

Lay out springs correctly

From classification and dimensioning to material selection and strength and functional verification - the result is a safe and efficient spring design.

Service life and dynamics of springs

Goodman diagrams, natural vibrations and the quality factor convey key aspects for service life assessment. Exercises deepen the understanding of compression and tension springs in practice.

Exercises for spring calculation

From basic equations for compression and tension springs to buckling, relaxation and creep - the influences and the stress correction factor are clearly conveyed with practical exercises.

Spring dimensioning step by step

Whether variation of an existing spring or design under installation space and operating point specifications - exercises illustrate the iterative path to reliable dimensioning.
