We have widened the parameters on the ‘copy sample’ path to allow you to design an overstressed spring. This is because if you have a sample of the spring in front of you it is highly likley that it works. It is not advisable to design a spring that is overstressed because it will reduce the life of the spring.

We do not want to let you design a bad spring therefore if you are copying a design from a drawing or designing a new spring from scratch using the ‘copy design’ or ‘new design’ paths then the site will not allow you to make an overstressed spring.

If you wish to make a spring that is overstressed or are unsure of the best way to design your spring please contact us and we will be happy to help you design the most efficient spring for your use.
