F.E.E.L. Spring Tension System
Each spring placed on the Rhino stick shaft will give a different feeling. You can also operate
the stick without a spring, providing a total of five different forces.
Each spring has a unique feel and different identification. These identifiers are color swatches
at the top of each spring – Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green. This table lists some of the calculations
used for differentiation:
k = Rate
OD = Outside diameter
d = Wire diameter
E = Youngs Modulus ( 210000 )
FL = Free length
WL = Working length
P1L = Position 1 length
n = Total Number of coils
D = Mean Diameter
Rate K= Ed*4 / 8n D *3
Load @ Breakout BL = FL-WL x k
Load @ P1L SoL = FL - SL x k
Stress= 8 x P x D / 3.14 x d *3
