    What torque is needed to compress a spring?

    Hi dhengr, Thanks for the answer. I knew it would be almost empirical to get a solution but I think it might be ok the way you present. The only doubt I have is if the relation torque/force on the bolt is related to the shear stress instead of the normal stress, as it's mostly used in steel...

    What torque is needed to compress a spring?

    Hi all, I need to know how to calculate the torque needed to be applied to a bolt in order for him to compress a spring. As the force of the spring rises with its deflection I'm expecting some trouble. In my scheme (check attachment), the bolt compresses a spring that pushes a steel ball in a...
