Wrap spring on rod - axial force calculation
Wrap spring on rod - axial force calculation
(OP)
Hello everybody,
I want to use a wrap spring, pretensioned mounted on a rod, as a brake (to lock the sliding of the rod in axial direction. What should be the calculation approach for the capable axial locking force, depending on the interference between spring and rod, number or spring's coils, etc.? Any documentation I could use (idealy downloadable pdf file(s))?
Thank you in advance.

When you will push the shaft linearily the spring inside coil diameter will increase (compressed spring diameter grows when loaded).
