MITCalc - Compression Springs

MITCalc - Compression Springs is a collection of tools that can help engineers, technicians or users that work in the industrial field perform various calculations regarding compression spring design.

The calculations' purpose is to help users determine the geometry and strength of compression springs that are made of wires and rods. The calculations are compatible with CAD solutions, making it possible to integrate them into even more complex projects.

It is worth mentioning that without installing Microsoft Excel on the target computer, this application cannot run or be installed properly. Accessing it can be done in a way that is not specific to many add-ins; instead of using Excel's ribbon, users need to locate the desired component in the Start menu and launch it from there.

MITCalc - Compression Springs supports both Metric and Imperial systems, thus serving a wider range of users. This add-in can be used to perform an automatic design for a spring, select optimal alternatives for spring designs regarding strength, weight and geometry, strength checks (both static and dynamic).

It is also capable to calculate working forces of a spring that has known installation dimensions and production, determine installation dimensions for given loading and production spring parameters and supports 2D or 3D CAD systems. It integrates a table of spring materials that are commonly used.
