| Post subject: | Xray spring rate units? Whats C? |
Does anyone know how the "C" corresponds with the spring rate? Is that the spring constant? How do I calculate the spring rate? I thought a rate should mean force/distance like grams/mm or lbs/in or N/m. What are the spring rates for the xray springs? 35 8182 XRAY XB808 FRONT SPRING SET C = 0.65 - WHITE (2) 35 8183 XRAY XB808 FRONT SPRING SET C = 0.70 - GREY (2) 35 8185 XRAY XB808 FRONT SPRING SET C = 0.80 - GREY-BLUE (2) 35 8186 XRAY XB808 FRONT SPRING SET C = 0.86 - BLUE (2) 35 8187 XRAY XB808 FRONT SPRING SET C = 0.92 - VIOLET (2) 35 8188 XRAY XB808 FRONT SPRING SET C = 0.98 - PURPLE (2) 35 8282 XRAY XB808 REAR SPRING SET C = 0.47 - WHITE (2) 35 8283 XRAY XB808 REAR SPRING SET C = 0.50 - GREY (2) 35 8285 XRAY XB808 REAR SPRING SET C = 0.57 - GREY-BLUE (2) 35 8286 XRAY XB808 REAR SPRING SET C = 0.61 - BLUE (2) 35 8287 XRAY XB808 REAR SPRING SET C = 0.65 - VIOLET (2) 35 8288 XRAY XB808 REAR SPRING SET C = 0.70 - PURPLE (2) |

Good one & dont really know. As a guess is C the coil or metal diameter under the coating. Other than colour the only way to see any difference is when placing two different springs together there is a difference in coil pitch or spacing. |

According to this thread on RC Tech you can multiply the C value by 5.71 to produce the lbs/in rating. http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric-ro ... nd-wt.html Also this thread, while about the on-road springs, demonstrates the relationship between lbs/in rated springs and C rated springs. viewtopic.php?t=6746 |

As it says in the link above, the units of C are N/mm, so the higher the value the greater the force in Newtons required to deflect the spring by 1mm. |
