Features: Based on summarizing advanced theories and production technologies both domestically and internationally, this manual systematically elaborates on various aspects of spring design, materials, processing techniques, and testing, aiming to improve the theoretical understanding, methods, and manufacturing standards of springs. The manual consists of 23 chapters. It primarily focuses on cylindrical helical springs in terms of design, while also providing in-depth analysis and introduction to less-covered topics in domestic publications such as unequal-pitch helical springs, as well as elastic components like diaphragms, bellows, and pressure tubes used in instruments and meters. Special attention is given to rubber springs and air springs, which are increasingly widely used, with detailed explanations provided. The manual systematically introduces the standards, properties, and processability of materials used for springs, thereby strengthening the awareness of material selection. For practical aspects such as spring manufacturing methods, heat treatment processes, and testing, the manual combines empirical experience with theoretical analysis to enhance its guidance.
