• Length

• Diameter

• Depth

• Thickness

The formula for spring rate is the amount of force required to compress a spring by a certain distance.

• Spring rate = Force / Distance

• The unit of spring rate is N/m or lbs/in

• The spring rate is dependent on the material and geometry of the spring

• The formula can be used to calculate the spring rate of compression, extension, and torsion springs
