    garter spring

    Hi! I am trying to calculate the radial force that a garter spring makes on a shaft. Could anyone give some information about how to design a garter spring, or how to calculate the radial force? I have been seaerching but didnt find anything so far.. Thanks!

    Force of a spring arround a tube

    Thank you, Yes I think the i should assume no friction to simplify. But are you sure the radial for would be 2T/D and not 2T/(Pi*r)? For the oborund tube, on the flat part the force is zero, and that's the part I want to modify in order to have some force there. Maybe with a circular part or...

    Force of a spring arround a tube

    I would like to calculate the force that a extension spring makes to a tube when is wrapped on it. Imagine a circular tube where you wrap a extension spring so it remains tensed up, pressing the tube surface like a clamp. So I would like to calculate the force (knowing the K of the spring) that...
