Compression Spring Design

To get the most out of your compression spring, it is critical to establish a foundational understanding of the mechanical behaviour of these complex components. This course gives you exactly that, built on the methods IST engineers use every day. You'll cover: spring end types and coil counts, solid length, rate and stress calculations, working length and in-service performance, the rate and stress equations, and practical design techniques you can apply immediately. Around two hours of on-demand learning, accessible on PC, tablet or mobile, with assessments throughout. On completion you'll receive an IST certificate with a publicly verifiable record.
