FED13 - Software for Wave Spring Washers
FED13 calculates characteristic line of spring and stresses of wave spring washers. Input data are external and internal ring diameter, flat thickness, number of waves, height of wave spring L0. The program calculates spring load and stress for assembly length L1 and L2. Material properties can be selected from the integrated material database.
Spring Drawing 2D and 3D
FED13 generates a true-scale drawing of the wave spring washer (2D dimensioned or not) that can be exported to your CAD system as DXF or IGES file.
Material Database
Material properties of the most important flat spring materials (tensile strength, permissible shear stress and bending stress as function of material thickness, modulus of elasticity, density) are stored at the integrated material database. The dbf file may be extended and modified by the user.
Diagrams
FED13 calculates characteristic line of spring (load-extension diagram) as function of spring travel and spring length.
Quick View
Load-extension diagram together with tables of the essential spring data and results are printed on one page.
Printout
Input data and calculation results with spring travel, spring length, spring load and stresses for different spring positions may be printed, saved as text or HTML file, or exported to MS Excel via OLE interface.
Production Drawing
FED13 generates a production drawing of the wave spring washer with all dimensions.
