Conical spring calculator
Calculate the initial rate, maximum load and deflection of conical (tapered) springs. Enter both end diameters and see the progressive characteristic.
Formel
This is the initial rate. As the spring compresses, the largest coils bottom out first and the rate rises: conical springs are progressive by nature.

Rechenbeispiel
Berechnet mit derselben Engine wie der Rechner oben, unter Verwendung der Startwerte des Formulars.
Conical springs combine a reduced solid height with lateral stability: the coils can nest into each other and the body resists buckling better.
The rate is not fixed: once the largest coil bottoms, the active portion shortens and the spring stiffens. The calculator shows the initial rate and where the progression starts.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Why choose a conical spring?
For the low solid height (coils can telescope), for stability without a guide on long strokes, and for the progressive characteristic, useful for absorbing impact.
Is the rate of a conical spring linear?
Only at the start of the stroke. As the larger coils bottom out, the rate rises progressively until the spring is solid. That behavior is desirable in many damping applications.
How is the initial rate calculated?
k = G·d⁴ / (2·Na·(D₁+D₂)·(D₁²+D₂²)), using the mean diameters of both ends. With D₁ = D₂ the formula reduces to the cylindrical spring formula.
