Calculate Coil Diameter (CD)





Formula

The formula to calculate the Coil Diameter (CD) is:

\[ \text{CD} = \frac{\text{CL}}{\text{N}} - \text{WD} \]

What is Coil Diameter?

Coil diameter is a measure of the diameter of a coil formed by winding a wire or other flexible material around a cylinder. It is an important parameter in the design of springs, coils, and other similar mechanical components. The coil diameter can affect the performance characteristics of the coil, such as its stiffness and the amount of space it occupies.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Coil Diameter:

\[ \text{CD} = \frac{100 \text{ mm}}{20} - 2 \text{ mm} = 3 \text{ mm} \]

The Coil Diameter (CD) is 3 mm.
