The Spring Manufacturers Institute will offer our spring design training webinar for Springs – Dimensioning, Tolerancing and Testing on Thursday, February 20, 2025, from 1:00 to 5:00 pm EST using Microsoft Teams.
Our web-based training programs have been quite popular. High marks have been received from students who attended.
The course will build upon the principles taught in the basic courses, 201 Compression Spring Design, 202 Extension Spring Design, and 203 Torsion Spring Design. It is highly recommended that students complete the 200 level courses or have equivalent knowledge or experience before signing up for this course.
The course is designed as a focused, real-world spring design training session.
In this course, dimensioning, tolerancing, and testing will be discussed for three spring types:
- Helical Compression Springs
- Helical Extension Springs
- Helical Torsion Springs
Students will learn:
- Dimensioning
- Correct Dimensioning Etiquette
- Types of Dimension
- Engineering Drawing
- Tolerancing
- The sources of tolerance data included in ASD7 and the Encyclopedia of Spring Design
- Critical Tolerance Characteristics and Calculations for Each Spring Type
- Commercial and Precision Quality Factors
- Tolerancing Do’s and Don’ts – Don’t Over Tolerance
- Testing
- Good Workmanship Practices
- Correct Methods and Equipment
- Performance Characteristics
Students will have the opportunity to seek opinions and clarification of any dimensioning, tolerancing, and testing related issues which they may have.
This class will benefit students by adding to their knowledge of dimensioning, tolerancing, and testing of springs and their company by having an SMI-trained associate as part of their team.
The training course instructor will be Rick Gordon, SMI’s Technical Director. SMI 304 team members who developed the course will also be available to answer questions during the presentation.
The cost for the program is $195.00 for SMI members, $425.00 for non-members (with discounts for multiple students).
SMI will provide an ASD7 30-day license to each registered participant.
