Design compression and tension springs
according to DIN EN 13906

Design compression and tension springs in accordance with DIN EN 13906 and reliably account for material selection, strength, service life, buckling, and relaxation.

Compression spring for sizing in accordance with DIN EN 13906
DIN EN 13906

That's what this seminar is about

Understand material selection, strength and service life analyses, fundamental equations, buckling, and relaxation in a practical context and apply them to compression and tension springs.

Design a compression spring in accordance with DIN EN 13906

Springs interpret correctly

From layout and sizing to material selection and strength and functional analyses—this is how a safe and efficient spring design is created.

Lifespan and dynamics of springs

Lifespan and dynamics of springs

Goodman diagrams, natural frequencies, and the quality factor cover key aspects of service life assessment. Exercises deepen students’ understanding of compression and tension springs in practical applications.

Exercises on Calculating Compression and Tension Springs

Exercises for spring calculation

From fundamental equations for compression and tension springs to buckling and relaxation and creep—through practical exercises, the various factors and the stress correction factor are clearly explained.

Spring dimensioning step by step

Spring dimensioning step by step

Whether it’s a variation of an existing Spring or a design based on installation space and operating point specifications—exercises illustrate the iterative process leading to reliable sizing.

Contents & details
