Hi,(I'm
I will need to make or buy a few small tension springs of around
guessing) an inch long by 1/4 diameter in something like 16 gaugeresource
wire. My question is : does anyone know a good web or paper
to help design springs, ideally with info on how to make them as
well ? I also need to know a place to buy spring steel in small
diameters or failing all that, a good source of supply for small
quantities of springs would do instead </cheating>.
Many thanks,
Mike
That will be a very stiff spring with 16 gauge on a 1/4" diameter.
Follow Duncans link for the calculator, and google for 'piano wire'
