Conclusions
The above method for determining the shape (design) of springs for dynamometers by means of “form factors” is suitable for judging objectively the full utilization of materials in designing springs. High values of the form factors and, therefore, a small weight of the dynamometer, are attained mainly owing to a uniform distribution of stresses in the spring. The production of springs with a minimum mass is particularly important in measuring efforts evaluated in thousands and tens of thousands of kilonewtons.
