Seminar

Sizing Compression and Tension Springs
in accordance with DIN EN 13906

Limited installation space, high demands on service life and performance—
and a Spring that must reliably meet all these requirements? These are standard challenges for you.
In this seminar, we’ll show you how to design compression and tension springs in accordance with the standards
DIN EN 13906 and how to overcome typical problems in the process.

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.

Here are the topics you can expect…

Springs interpret correctly

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

Lifespan 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 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.
