Spring rates yz2

[washy13]

Hi

Does anybody know the spring rates for these new springs that have come out ?

[Philim]

Yatabe spring rates

[Arn0]

This table does not contain the YZ2 spring. Have a look here, update done minutes ago: http://www.petitrc.com/reglages/Univ...pringChart.htm

That spring chart Philim posted above is not quite right. It's a hard thing to do and Arn0 has done a great job compiling it for sure. Modulus of elasticity constant of the spring steel was guestimated (for the Yokomo ones), and is different for each spring set..

TeamYokomo.eu have just released this measured one:



I was working on one similar myself with the Gforce spring rate gauge, but they beat me to it ;-)

I'll try complete the older Yokomo springs to complete the chart.

Now you need to help me out Neal. I only deal in springs rates at lbs/inch.

When I stuck n/cm to lbs/inch into google and tried conversions, I definitely wasn't getting the right figures. Anyone tell me how to convert them?

Yeah I was getting silly numbers too, hence why I've not published my table...
One thing is for certain the AE pound "lb" rating of their springs is a bit nonsense. It's a weight, not a force. They do not mean lb/in either? I figured I'd start with "known" ratings, and calculate/convert back from metric force to the "lb" rating. silly numbers.

I just figured I'd go with the N/CM scale of the gauge, and refer them all back to that scale.

If you are going to add the 'older' Yokomo springs, measure the YS and YAS as well, because you don't know HOW (Probably using a GForce thing, but nobody knows.) Bjorn did measure. If you get ~the same results, it should be OK.

Only just started running Yokomo for the first time with the YZ2, what's the difference between the different sets? I'm guessing it's the length of the spring?

Yeh the Carpet ones are shorter.
