Scope
The following recommended practice has been developed to assist engineers and designers in the preparation of specifications for the major types of helical compression and extension springs. It is restricted to a concise presentation of items which will promote an adequate under standing between spring manufacturer and spring user of the major practical requirements in the finished spring. Closer tolerances are obtainable where greater accuracy is required and the increased cost is justified.
For the basic concepts underlying the spring design and for many of the details see the SAE Information Report MANUAL ON DESIGN AND APPLICATION OF HELICAL AND SPIRAL SPRINGS, SAE J795, which is available from SAE Headquarters in Warrendale, PA 15096. A uniform method for specifying design information is shown in the TYPICAL DESIGN CHECK LISTS FOR HELICAL SPRINGS, SAE J1122.
Two types of helical springs are considered:
-
Hot-coiled compression springs for general automotive use as well as for motor vehicle suspensions.
-
Cold-wound compression and extension springs for general automotive use.
This recommended practice uses SI (metric) units in accordance with the provisions of SAE J916, dated February 1974.

Issuing Committee
The SAE Coil Spring Sub-Committee is responsible for the review and updating of standards, information reports and recommended practices appropriate to manuals relating to the design and application of coil springs used in the transportation industry. One of our main thrusts is to update the SAE Spring Coil Manual HS-795 with the latest developments in coil spring technology.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
